Using Facebook Connect to initiate a connection request

Using Facebook Connect to initiate a connection request

Here's what I'd like to be able to do, if it's allowed by Facebook:
Have users of my website authenticate using Facebook Connect
Access the list of their friends
Allow the user on my site to select any number of their FB friends
Fire off connection requests for my site using the FB interface.
I know that FB won't give my 3rd party application access to someone
else's email address without their permission, but does it allow me to
send 3rd party app requests in the Facebook UI?
Pinterest, Spotify, and other services will allow you to follow FB friends
that are already on these respective services, but they don't have a way
for me to invite people who aren't yet on Pinterest or Spotify.
What's the best way for me to leverage my existing FB network to drive new
member acquisition for a 3rd party app?
