Worming through Facebook one Twit at a time

The Broadstuff Blog is now exporting its Facebook status to Twitter and adding to the global River of Drivel. When I can do what I already do for all my other reading matter - ie get ALL the data onto email or RSS aggregator, and the ability to reply via email, then I think Facebook will be fairly useful. The "friction" of toggling through all those webpages on Facebook is too hard - is it just my Facebook friends or is anyone else noticing a rapid slowdown in activity?

What is interesting about this exercise is that:

(i) These Facebook Export data capabilities are slowly creeping in
(ii) They are, um, non obvious - (aka incredibly hard to find) - a sense of reluctance pervades.

Tip of the hat to Jeff Sandquist for the arcane arts required:

First, find your status RSS feed on Facebook. It is buried. (Thanks Bizzle! for helping me find mine.) To find it, you need to visit your profile on Facebook and on your mini-feed select "See All". On the right you will see a list of items, select “status stories” and finally below this a feed link can be found.

Don't see a mini-feed on your profile page?

You've most likely been changed your feed settings. Resetting them to their default values from the feed preference page will bring back the mini-feed.

Finally add your newly found status RSS feed to the TwitterFeed service.
