... updating his facebook status with C#

FaceBook, it's as close as you get to having an API for humans. OK I admit It's not often I have a need to "poke" members of my, not so extended, network of friends in real life but its still a pretty cool development platform Facebook have given us. While I hope we might be getting close the number of virtual zombie/vampire/cake/beer sharing applications any social network actually needs there's still functionality facebook is missing.

I wanted a way to push out status updates to all of my identities from my own website and especially from my SMS gateway. I trawled through the facebook API documentation only to discover the interfaces for updating one's facebook status are conspicuous by their absence. If you want to change your status you need to sign in, so the only option is to fake the three step process of a user logging in, loading the form and posting an update.
