hi all! just fyi, i recently posted a little side project,
http://snarfed.org/2012-01-16_webfinger_for_facebook_and_twitter
(please excuse the sopa strike banner):

"webfinger-unofficial
(https://github.com/snarfed/webfinger-unofficial) is a stand-in
webfinger server for major sites that don't implement it themselves.
it currently has implementations for facebook and twitter, deployed at
these endpoints:

http://facebook-webfinger.appspot.com/
http://twitter-webfinger.appspot.com/

it's not hugely useful on its own, but it is a step toward
implementing whole ostatus bridge apps
(http://snarfed.org/2011-07-27_facebook_app_for_ostatus) for the major
social networking sites."

more discussion on the announcement post linked above. feedback is welcome!
