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.
