Ever thought about incorporating the statuses of your FB friends as a feed that you can use in your favorite RSS reader (makes for much quicker reading)? It used to be a bit easier, but here's what you can do:
Go to http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?friends
Copy the subscribe link (left hand side of the page) and change friends_notes to friends_status
For example, http://www.facebook.com/feeds/friends_notes.php?id=xxxxxxxx&key=xxxxxxxxxx&format=rss20 becomes http://www.facebook.com/feeds/friends_status.php?id=xxxxxxxx&key=xxxxxxxxxx&format=rss20
Obviously, your id and key will be different (I've taken the liberty of replacing mine with Xs).
You can do the same thing for links that your friends post to their wall. For that, just change friends_notes to share_friends_posts
Voila! You now have an RSS feed URL for your friends' statuses or links. Hope this might be useful...
Update from 1/14/12 - I looked at this again and instead of saying subscribe or RSS, the "Friends' Notes" is now just a hyperlink on the left hand side that says Friends' Notes. When your mouse is over it, the link will say rss or rss20 at some point...
