I am just sharing how I did it. Maybe someday someone will create a plugin to make this easier. Although, you could use this same widget to do display additional feeds.

I have written a 7 step process on doing this at: http://markolson.ca/?p=30

There is also an example of how my status updates look on my site.

Thanks for pointing out the RSS feeds. I knew about those, but I never even thought about grabbing that for your own consumption. That seems like it’d be the best way too based on what Adam was saying with it forcing you to log out of Facebook once you log in with another ip.

there is of course the pidgin plugin mentioned before. It seems its only for linux however, and I haven’t had the time to boot into ubuntu and play with it.

There’s also twitterbook, which is a php script that fetches your facebook status and posts it to twitter. This might solve what you want with a few modifications.

Then theres this little script for adium thats interesting and may have a good solution for your problems: it seems that facebook publishes your status as an RSS feed that you can slurp rather easily.

in addition to all that (for the lazy) what I’ve been using on my blog is a facebook badge. I had to hunt around facebook after the redesign: the link for creating badges is at the very bottom of your profile page (this link should work…)

badges are the easy way out though. I’m interested to see if you do anything with this. feel free to contact me at my email.

Cheers,
