3rd party apps are not allowed to access the Social Graph beyond 1st level connections i.e. you cann't get friends of friends. But I wonder , why does facebook not develop Apps based on their Social Graph by itself.

Could be it was because facebook wanted to focus and capture other important stuff like - facebook comment plugin , facebook like button, facebook share plugin ...

They always knew that replicating craiglist can be done any day later.

But i guess for last few days it has been disabled for Individual accounts.

Also facebook has "strangely" stopped showing "Why this ad" after facebook signout. !!
