FB integration, though, might be nice for initial import of friend data that's already there.

You can't import ANY data from your friends from Facebook. Facebook doesn't allow to.

That's true, but you can see if any of your FB friends are also using the same service! 'Importing' isn't ok, but verifying via API is ok.[0]
