available to the members of the social network of Facebook. In order to
make the applications more involving, the API makes use of the social
connections, profile information, publishes activities to news feed and
profile pages of Facebook conditional to user's privacy settings. With
the help of this API, users can now add social context to their
applications by utilizing data from their profile, friends, pages,
groups, photos and events etc.
