I am using the Aggregator module successfully with conventional website RSS feeds but with the feeds off a Facebook Fan page (not explicitly shown on the fan page, but Safari or Firefox will easily discover them for you) the aggregated feed (default is Atom 1.0 format) shows up with my own site name prefixed to it, making it useless. If I try substituting an RSS 2.0 format I also get a crippled feed but in a different way. What is it about FB fan pages that is preventing standard Drupal aggregating from working? Any workaround? Thanks.

I am having the same issue! Were you able to get this resolved? I am able to see links to "albums" in Facebook, that don't include my site domain as the prefix to the URL. But for some reason, it does that with all the other links and therefore those links are broken.

Here is why,
facebook and twitter use a method to generate dynamic feeds for JUST real feed readers.

Drupal aggregator , Feedburner , etc are not allowed to scrap the feed.

For this case, for my site's fan page, I use facebook module and twitter module to import tweets/statuses into my Drupal.
