Did you try accessing it to see what you can see and if you need a Facebook account to view avatar profiles?

Yes you do have to have a Facebook account to use Avatar book. I recently posted
an interactive Google Gadget to the Wiki site that uses the same web services Avatar book does. If you don't have access to Avatar book, it should give you some idea of the information that's available.

I do not have a Facebook account but I decided to look at JimDog's Google Gadget to see what kind of information I could retrieve. Boy was I shocked. JimDog has provided stalkers the perfect tool for stalking their victims. Forget that you have your privacy button turned on because it does not work for this. This is what this gadget provides.
Avatar information available:
General: Online/Offline status, Age, Birthdate, Gender, Last Login, Home Lot, Current Location
Motives
Skills with skill locks
Bookmarks with Online/Offline status and Current Location
Friends with Daily and Lifetime friend values, Online/Offline status and Current Location
History of lots visited
Lot information available:
General: Open/Closed, Category, Description, Number of Avatars on Lot, Owner, Neighborhood
Roommates with Online/Offline status and Current Location
List of Avatars on Lot
If added to iGoogle, you can select a default display mode of Avatar or Lot which will show the last Avatar or Lot displayed.
This is more information than what is available to the player in game. Yes it displays where you are, what time you arrived and everywhere you went recently and when you logged into and out of each lot. It let's you peer into lots to see who is on the lot. All your bookmarks are there too. I see no way to block this information from being broadcast either. JimDog, we have a privacy button on our UI for a reason. You have made it useless. Is anyone else as upset about this gadget as me?
Luckily this gadget failed to retrieve the information on all my avatars but it works on most. The failures are independent of the privacy button being turned on or off.

Oh and for those that haven't yet looked - go look. If your sim isn't on there cos you dont have a FB account - look for one of your friends then at their bookmarks - its all there for you to see REGARDLESS if you have a FB account or not.
