Perhaps beside the post number, can include the name of poster and time.

I'm using this to keep track of my posts and well, I don't really remember if its 550 or 551 or 549 since I last checked tongue.gif

The author and time shows up fine in Google Reader. You should send an e-mail to the author of your favourite RSS reader and bug them to implement RSS metadata properly. smile.gif

Yups, I've fulfilled my part of the contract.. it's up to your RSS reader to fulfill the other smile.gif

If you really can't change readers or the developers refuse to add support, I suggest that you use a service like Yahoo Pipes that post-processes RSS feeds into something suitable for yourself.

RSS feed allow you to view "feeds" in a single program (aka RSS Reader)

The easiest example would be News site such as The Star Online.
Their feed for most viewed nation news feed:
http://thestar.com.my/rss/mostview/nation.xml

This RSS Reader will automatically get the latest update of the feed, so you don't have to go to the website (www.thestar.com.my) to manually check for updates. This can save a lot of time if you are monitoring several websites.

I think I fixed it. It's due to FB's insistence on unique URLs for each post, which I didn't provide.
