One example I can think of is how the new FB 2.0+ API does not allow access to a user's friend list unless the FB app is listed as a game. The friends API will only show the user's FB friends who also use the app. Not being able to access a user's friend list takes away much of the value of the FB API (IMHO). Also the double standard that FB apps listed as games get to continue accessing user's full friend lists is not only weird, but a bit unfair (also IMHO).
- WizKid 12y agoWhat do you need the full friend list for?
- deegles 12y agoI thought about using it to write a Secret.ly post deanonimizer.
- mrinterweb 12y agoI was making a chat application that would show all the user's friends so they could create groups of their friends. When a friend not currently using the app was sent a message, I was going to prompt to send an invite. The full friend list is important to my particular application. I'm unsure why FB game apps only get access to the full friend list.
