Paul Derek,

And that's where Facebook is a big letdown at the moment, though, as Gareth Stack points out in the comments they do provide feeds for certain aspects of the service. Just not the aggregate. I definitely agree with you Paul as regards LinkedIn - I don't think Facebook replaces it yet in terms of how it manages your business networks either.
