Solution
Facebook publishes four RSS feeds, and you should definitely subscribe to them. If you already subscribe to a lot of feeds, you might want to use an RSS-to-email service to make sure that these feeds don’t get lost in the shuffle (or use a separate RSS reader just for them):
- Facebook Developer Blog
Updates from Facebook’s team about upcoming changes to Platform.
Website: http://developers.facebook.com/news.php
RSS: http://developers.facebook.com/news.php?blog=1&format=xml
- Facebook Platform Status Feed

Website: http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?id=10381469571
RSS: You’ll have to visit the page to subscribe because it generates a unique RSS URL for each visitor.
