You can actually use the in-built 'features' of facebook to list your own friends. By putting together the right 'application' I can mine your profile for all their data, and their friends' data, and their friends' data.....you get the point.
As I understand it you can choose to make your profile available only to those people on your friends list. You can also choose how much of your profile you make available to them.
Now then.....
What this all means is that it doesn't (in theory at least) matter if you set your profile to private, if your friend runs an application that mines for data from
their friends list it will still get your private information. The request appears to come from someone on your friends list and so the facebook site will simply serve it up as it would normally.
