With the new layout of Facebook it is harder to keep track of all things that happen. The facebook “news” is divided into “Top News” and “Most Recent”.
But what if you want to keep track of Facebook status updates of your friends OUTSIDE facebook?

Facebook has a number of RSS feeds available, but not all are listed in the FaceBook interface.

Here is a list of the facebooks’ RSS feeds I am aware of:

• Your own status updates:
  http://www.new.facebook.com/feeds/status.php?id=[ID]&viewer=[ID]&key=[KEY]&format=rss20
• Your notifications:
  http://www.facebook.com/feeds/notifications.php?id=[ID]&viewer=[ID]&key=[KEY]&format=rss20
• Your friend statuses:
  http://www.facebook.com/feeds/friends_status.php?id=[ID]&key=[KEY]&format=rss20

But what about the [ID] and [KEY] Field?

You can find these 2 values easily by going to your facebook profile:

First go to your notifications and click to see all your notifications:

Secondly, click on the subscribe link on the right:

You now get a new page witch will list the [ID] and [KEY] field in the address toolbar of your brower. These 2 fields remain the same for all Facebook RSS feeds.

You can now add these URLs to your favorite RSS reader. Google Reader for example.

If you find more Facebook RSS feeds available, please comment on this post, so that I can update it accordingly. Thank you!
