Makes sense, thanks! Didn't realize they provided mutual friends.

Great service, did a great job on my list of friends. I would love to use this, but having to send over user access tokens is a little scary, even over HTTPS. Have you guys considered licensing this? Would be cool as a heroku plugin...

First off, thank you.

We thought about licensing it, and we'd probably feel comfortable doing so. However, the infrastructure required to run this is pretty intense and customized. We're actually pushing a patent for the infrastructure/technology behind it.
