A small chrome extension I've written by digging through the way facebook loads ticker updates: lets you check the feed without having to visit facebook.

All completed in 24 hours -- started by learning how to write a chrome extension, pretty printing and reading fb javascript, lots of hit and trials to find out what worked and what didn't -- and finally releasing it on the app store.
