是否可以制作不是游戏的Facebook画布应用程序？

Question

I am interested in creating a canvas app that will work as a communication tool that will use facebook user's friends lists. Is it possible to make a facebook canvas app that is actually a tool and not a game? Or is this agains facebook's policies? I couldn't find a direct answer for this question anywhere, so I thought I would ask here.

Thanks.

Of course you can create Apps too, but you will still not get the full friend list of the user, only those who are using the App (with /me/friends ).

You can use taggable_friends to tag friends, But you are not allowed to use those for something else - only for tagging.

According to the Facebook docs, invitable_friends is only for Games - and of course it has to be used for inviting friends only.
