Are you talking about the app that lets you sync profile pictures with your contacts? I think you are wrong dood...I think FB blocks address information because they dont want anyone to write an application that will bulk pwn someone. If you check the API you cant get address...just city/state/zip; they also exclude phone and email address from the API. Without this information, I think it would be pretty difficult to make an address book export application. http://developers.facebook.com/documentation.php?v=1.0&method=users.getInfo Think Dave might be right, but let me know if you do find a place in the API where you can yoink this info. I still love you Brandon, David What tool are you talking about that allows you try sync address information? Are you talking about the app that lets you sync profile pictures with your contacts?

Facebook is a generally useless add-on for most people's everyday lives. And I speak as someone who joined it from my first year at Harvard.
