I have several RSS feeds coming into my app without any issues. I have seen some weird data come through and the formatting is almost always a little off...but never a blank screen. You should try plugging it into Yahoo Pipes first. It will allow you to clean up the data and force it into the proper RSS format before you add it into BT.

Getting Facebook fees is a common problem and I anxiously await support to addresst his. In the meantime I have a workaround for you. Link your Facebook page to a twitter account and visa versa so that whatever you type in Facebook posts to Twitter and whatever you type into twitter posts to Facebook. Then on your Twitter page go to the right column, there will be a link that says Get RSS Feed Code or something of the like (it's in red). Click that, then copy the URL (it should end in '.rss') and paste it into the URL space on your RSS Feed page in your app control panel. This will create a feed to your Twitter account. Let me know if you need more explanation.

I did it! Spent ALL day on this and finally figured out a way around! Get your Facebook RSS code from your fanpage by hitting refresh and then hit the RSS symbol on the top of your webpage. On the next page, copy the URL. Then sign up for an account with RSSInclude.com and follow their instructions to get the javascript code. In Buzztouch open an HTML code page, copy thier suggested HTML code (the starter stuff) then in the body section, paste your javascript code from RSSInclude.com into the body of your HTML code. I can help you further if you need more explanation on the HTML coding. I'm writing this with the assumption that you are somewhat familiar.
