Two feature requests that would make this a killer app for me (yes, I would pay):

1. Import names from Facebook (is this included if I had used Fb to register?)

2. Generate random individual to reach out to, weighted or sorted by when I last contacted them.

Thanks a lot.

1. This is not possible. Facebook does not give me those information through an importer. So it won't happen unless they change their mind.

2. Interesting. I had something similar in mind, I think you'll be pleased when it'll be out.

There's the workaround of exporting it from Facebook and then uploading it to Monica. You'd just need to parse the exported files.

What about a mobile device contact import? Facebook and other platforms update those contacts. That could be your social network workaround.

Heh, I thought fb allowed that for "apps" (you would have to add Monica as an fb app)?

If not, maybe support fb "archives"?
