Hi Lars, I always liked and flirted the idea of being immersed into Emacs/Gnus but for the kind of things I would prefer a whatever-to-mail scheme. At least that's what I did for RSS and thats what I had in mind these days about twitter and a couple of other things I want to be notified about. With regards to the facebook API I had seen this little API browser that had helped me a bit in understanding what is exposed and what's not: http://zesty.ca/facebook/ Regards Leonidas
