One of the Google Chrome extensions I use, RSS Subscription Extension, puts an RSS icon in the browser’s address bar when there is an RSS feed discovered on a page. On Facebook pages that haven’t been converted to the new Timeline design, that icon comes up so you can subscribe to your favorite page’s RSS feed.
http://www.facebook.com/friendxcorner
For pages with the new design enabled, however, the RSS feed has gone missing.
Fortunately, the feed is still available though. You just need a little workaround. To get any page’s RSS feed, first you will need to grab the page’s ID number. For pages that do not have a customized username (http://facebook.com/username), the ID number will be at the end of the URL. For those pages that have a customized username, the quickest way to grab the ID is through the Open Graph. Simply take the page’s username and add it to the following URL.
https://graph.facebook.com/username
For example, my Facebook page URL is http://facebook.com/friendxcorner. Hence, the Open Graph URL would be https://graph.facebook.com/friendxcorner. This will show you the following.

Highlighted in the above is my page’s ID number, 215026371884953 . To create the RSS feed, take the page ID number and insert it in the following.
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=215026371884953&format=rss20
Take this URL and paste it into your preferred RSS Graffiti. Mine is Google Reader, so I would paste it in to the Subscribe field.
Now, you can see your favorite page’s updates all in your RSS Graffiti.
