This is actually useful! I had unfollowed every one of my friends and my home page is always empty.

Why do you go to facebook then?

I've been off facebook for a month now and I really really miss pages of some artists and groups for abstract art. I was seriously getting into asemic writing at the same time I was trying to kick the habit of typing out whatever bullshit ideas about politics were in my mind. Aaaand I chose the latter. :-(

If you really miss those, you can write a bot that logs in a dummy account and scraps the content and emails it to you. Makes for a cool weekend project.

I've always wanted to do something like this but haven't found the time to. I've written something to turn my Twitter consumption into RSS feeds, and I want the same thing for Facebook. Just turn whatever things I want to follow into RSS feeds and read it at my leisure.

I agree. Facebook is a good place to connect with your friends. Not so good for any educational value though
