There's a privacy option to disable 3rd party app access (FB apps used by other people) to personal info so nothing as full featured is possible.

thanks for the reply. I am not looking for all those features. I just want to update status from the command line this way I can use them in my static generator workflow ;-)

I don't know of a generic tool that does this but you could create one in a couple of minutes in your scripting language of choice.

Go here and generate yourself a token for your account: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer

Then do the equivalent of

    curl -X POST -d "message='Your status message goes here.'" https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed?access_token=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

I cross-post tweets to FB with this app: https://apps.facebook.com/twitter/. I wish it had a way not cross-post everything, i.e. with a #nofb tag, but my volume isn't high enough that that's a concern.

The Facebook API is really nice (at least by the standards of such things) - if there isn't one now it should be straightforward to write.
