title: getting list of friends from facebook
body: <p>Facebook API does not provide friends list of people using our fb app, according to their developer faq page. But still, websites like <a href="http://www.nimble.com" rel="nofollow">nimble</a> and the live example of <a href="https://labs.3pillarglobal.com/socialauthdemo/importContacts.do" rel="nofollow">socialauth</a> are able to get the names of people on our friend list, even those who do not use their app. Please, can any one help me with how this work?</p>
  
  <p>The read_friendlist permission gives only name of lists like 'close friends', 'aquaintance' etc. the user_friends permission gives only the list of people in our friendlist who use our app.
  What all api permssions do we need to get the full friend list? </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to make an address book by importing contacts from google, facebook etc. using socialauth. Had success with google.</p>
