Title: Common use case implemented

This change makes it possible to grab some information about a user when you do not have their user access_token. There are 2 types of access_tokens, app and user. A user access_token will enable you to perform all operations for the user. Sometimes you just need to get their first name or their birthday, in which case you can use your app's access_token. All you need to do is ask for it from the FB oauth endpoint and pass it your secret key, (don't worry it's https :)
