Tear down these walls! Facebook goes RSS

Hello world, my fb-friend Robert Scoble and many others are talking bout Facebook being walled garden. Well, they’re right, but with some new and shiny Web 2.0 Mashup tools like openkapow.com (my favorite, though its servers are down a lot) you can actually get some data out of facebook. I started with this doing an RSS-Feed-Tool which catches your personal Facebook Newsfeed. All you have to do is enter your login. Check it out!

For all of you which are concerned about your login data. Its just a REST-like URL-building which is done there. No storing or anything… Heres the full URL which is generated by the openkapow tool:

http://service.openkapow.com/heiphil/facebookfeed.rss?email=[putyouremailhere]&password=[putyourpasswordhere]&rssVersion=2.0
