    Its against Facebooks TOS to create an application that can track profiles, as well as sites. I've seen applications that provide the functionality if both people agree to add the application, I don't know about those.

    I think the worst that would happen is they would send a cease or desist (i've known this to happen to somebody) but its very likely they will just block your code from working.
