How to Find Your Facebook Status in RSS Feeds

Users can access their Facebook status RSS feeds without a direct link.

One of the main features of Facebook is its ability to allow users to publish status updates. Using Facebook's RSS implementation, users can display their Facebook status updates from Facebook on other Web services, such as Twitter, or a personal blog. In the past, Facebook displayed a direct link to users' status RSS feeds, but as the website evolved into what it is today, the link was removed. As such, there is not an intuitive method to access a user's status RSS feed. However, the feed can still be accessed with some work.
