Working with Facebook API

Challenge:
Implement a crawler-type website which will identify what your Facebook interests and likes are and then identifies your friends likes and interests.  Store this information in an efficient container, and construct a graph of the Web Advertisements which would interest you the most.


Break-Down:
Need a couple of things to solve this:
1) App which can connect to Facebook API, have the appropriate privileges to scan for the above information.
2) Efficient storage of this information, SQL may not be good enough to maintain the correlation between these disparate items.
3) Retrival -- Correlate the Ad keywords to the important interests of the user (and his friends).  Needs to be scalable to minimize lookup on the database.


Solution:
