I'm not suggesting you duplicate the feature set that Facebook provides. If a user wants to have those features, it makes sense to have them link their Facebook account.

But I would probably offer a more basic version that doesn't have friend lists, SMS reminders, etc, and let the user opt in to the additional features only if they wanted to. Otherwise I think you might end up artificially restricting the amount/type of users that use your site (e.g. people without Facebook accounts or people that want to keep their Facebook data private).

Maybe you're right... We have to think about it more carefully. Thanks for your feedback!
