Is there no way to do it with less? I just get very twitchy when I see that level of permission. We're getting to the stage where a FB profile is important to life, work, family… well everything. We have parents, grandparents, children, mother-in-laws and bosses linked in there… and some near explosive issues always bubbling near the service.
Can't you take the minimum and ask me again when I want you to do something more sophisticated for me? If you have built my trust and have demonstrated the trade-off I will almost certainly grant you more permission.
But, dude, you're asking for the key to my front door and we've never even drunk a beer together!
