Following on from my discovery a couple of days ago that the Twitter app now can update my Facebook status, I’ve been wondering about how I can keep up to date with people’s Facebook updates while I’m away.
Using twitterfeed I have directed a couple of feeds for my own private use to the user longwayroundfb. One of those is my Facebook Friends’ status updates, the other is the BBC’s weather forecast for Paderborn-Lippstadt International airport.
Of more potential use to others is the BBC’s Southend United news feed which I’ve set up having become bored of Virgin Mobile’s failure to send me the score updates that they had previously sent to me.
