Writing an alternative interface to Facebook -


Hypothetically, suppose I wanted to create an alternative user interface for Facebook. How can this be accomplished and the most important features that can not be applied?

You will probably be able to reproduce at least 5%.

  • You will get stuck on the login form immediately because it can not be excluded from Facebook :) You can not log in without a forwarding API through a user's facebook or webpage.
  • You can not even register a new user.
  • Search capabilities are very limited You can not do any detailed search through the graph API. Using FQL will not help in either more than 90% table fields and will not be indexed and will not be available for search.
  • Most data queries are limited to the latest 5,000 entries, anything is invisible to the old APIs.
  • The API is not always visible without the extended permissions on what is public on the Facebook site
  • The button can not be recreated again
  • To create new applications There is no API

and many more ...
