Sounds good! I run one of the keyservers in the SKS pool[1], which is what gpg uses as the default keyserver. It would be great if Facebook could join the pool. That way, you would receive gossiped updates to people's public keys (signatures, etc.), and you would be able to gossip keys that were uploaded to fb profiles. Being able to gpg --recv-key a public key that was uploaded to Facebook would so wonderful. As far as Graph API, it would be a convenient way to offer a CORS friendly way to get someone's public key. I'd like to incorporate it into my PublicKey.js library[2].
