Consume FaceBook

Has anyone ever consumed FaceBook status before? I have a customer who wants their FB posts to show up on their website. I am assuming I can consume some XML somewhere. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

    Here's a great starting point to develop a Facebook application (I am assuming that's what you meant)

    http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/User:ColdFusion

    There have been some changes to the Facebook platform since some of the examples were written, but the general principle remains the same.

    A couple of resources that will help with the ColdFusion and Facebook integration.  It would be easier on CF9.  With earlier versions you have to deal with an ancient feature that was originally designed to provide automatic form field validation by ColdFusion, but now mostly just gets in the way.  With CF9 one can now tell CF to not use this ancient feature

    Ray Camden explains the down and dirty details.

    Firstly you'll need to sign up as a Facebook developer, it's free and once in they have all the docs you'll need:
