We don't really need updates to everyone's "status" either. The question I have is why do they offer some but not all, especially the one they call "News Feed". Hopefully they'll get more open soon.

I remember being aware of them when I first posted this, though. Unfortunately, they still don't have what I was looking for, which is a feed for the main "News Feed". This is displayed on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php" rel="nofollow">home page</a> and contains news that isn't covered in the two feeds mentioned above. Seems like a no-brainer to me, so I'm not sure why they don't offer it, unless it's because they don't want to.

It would be ideal if they provided the feed themselves, or at least made this possible via an API. That's what I'm hoping to find.
