<fb:pronoun/>
A feed story is a blurb of text about the user of your app. This blurb gets put in the user’s Mini-Feed, where it has the potential to be sent to all of the user’s friends. See the section on Feed Forms” later in this chapter to learn how you can use plain FBML/HTML to send a feed story to the Mini-Feed of a user (i.e., the actor).

The following example FBML code for
<fb:pronoun/>
capitalizes the first letter,
renders “they” if the user has not specified a gender, and renders the
possessive form of the pronoun (Figure 3-14
shows the result):
<fb:name useyou="false" uid="profileowner"/> has just finished <fb:pronoun uid="profileowner" possessive="true" capitalize="true"/> Book!
Here is another example (Figure 3-15 shows the result):
<fb:name useyou="false" uid="683545112"/> just gave <fb:pronoun uid="actor" possessive="true"/> book to Fred.
