I am trying to make a little desktop alert script that will tell me if there is a new post on my Facebook page's wall. It would be nice to see if I'm getting any new likes as well but really I mostly want to access my wall feed.

I don't need help parsing it or anything like that (I'm literally just going to compare a stored feed with how it is currently to see if there is a change once every 2 minutes or so) I just need to know how to access it.

You can pull the content in your profile feed (wall) as a JSON object using the Facebook Graph API. You can check out the details here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/
