Interesting.

I did my first Facebook RCurl web-craping in January 2011. I was even able to log into Facebook account automatically. The problem is the following - every time Facebook changes its webpage it stops working. The second problem are AJAX features (yes, there are some roundabouts like m.facebook.com or pretend that you are an old web browser). Last, I heard that Facebook terminates your account if you do this too much.

I did not experienced missing items in feeds but I will test it. Anyway, you are right there are things you cannot do with Graph API - like list of friends for somebody who is not your friend.
