Since Facebook is removing the ability to post to friends' wall via Graph API from February 6, 2013 onward, I want to know if there are some alternates to post to the friend's Wall.

Till now, I was using Feed API for this- using to parameter but it throws the exception:

(#200) Feed story publishing to other users is disabled for this application

The possible solution that I found was: OG: Mention Tagging. But is there a way to accomplish this other than by using OpenGraph? Please help.

Accomplish what exactly?

Tagging users/friends in any kind of posts? Only possible for Open Graph stories, or photos. (But be aware, apps are not supposed to tag users in photos if the user is not actually in it, or if it’s not a real photo, but just a composite image.)

Or posting to friend’s wall? This will only be possible using the Feed dialog from Feb. 2013 on.
