Could you set it up so we can input our own Facebook ID instead of having to grant your app access? I personally have the entire app platform disabled on my account, and do not intend to turn it back on.

On that note, why does the Facebook connection ask to access data at anytime and to post on my wall? It seems like all you'd be interested in would be my id and friends ids, which are both public once you have my id.

#27Note to self: they got the data; they didn't add much value; they presented the data with fairly clean design; it could be argued that this is a data mining web app but there is a flaw if the plan is to produce income by engaging the user.
Note to feldmanr: http://www.programmableweb.com/ says that there is 4535 APIs. It's not even possible to read the documentation for a subset of them to figure out whether you can get an incremental user ID or not. But even if you did and even if you used some of them you are just producing a fun fact. Hardly a reason to come back for more. Yet, the exercise is a worth while; one gains knowledge about heterogeneous nature of web APIs - a skill necessary to build profitable data mining web apps. Please, do come back with an idea that can clearly retain your users beyond single visit.

We enjoy simple hacks that people produce that give me a few minutes of fun or some interesting piece of info. We try not to take ourselves too seriously all the time.
