So things are getting out of hand with all the crazy web 2.0/social networking sites popping up but if you've got a facebook account chances are you haven't tired of the ability to post your status whenever you want.

Something I noticed recently is that your facebook status is published as an RSS feed from your profile (go to your profile, then click on 'see all' in your mini-feed, then filter to 'status stories.').

What this means is that you can grab that feed and display it on your Drupal website using the feed aggregator module!  Nice!! :)

Okay, so now that you've got your feed URL from facebook (copy the linked blue rss logo as shown above), enable the aggregator module and add the feed to your aggregator.  For my personal site at http://www.qasim.ca I chose to only display the latest status for obvious reasons.

Now, the aggregator module automatically makes a block for each feed you throw into the aggregator - so all you have to do is edit the block, set the number of feed items to show and then publish the block wherever you want!

Notes:

• the Aggregator module doesn't let you display less than 2 feed items in the block - so you'll need to hack it, something I've already blogged about.
• The aggregator module updates feeds with cron.php so make sure you've got a crontab running frequently to update the feed - also make sure to set the frequency of updates within the module itself.
