Take a look at any of the games and you'll see not only ads for other networked games, but also which ones your friends are playing and which ones they have played recently. As far as I know, there's no opt-out feature for the users either. The Zynga Game network has been doing this for a while.

Facebook passes your user id and all your friends ids to this iframe. They must be storing it and cookiing you with your id from their domain. That's what they do now, just randomly displaying pictures of people from the passed friend ids to make the ad look more interesting. What they seem to be planning is to use data from their apps to see which friends you actually interact with. Anyway, if you don't like it just change settings to block 3rd party cookies. 10 seconds, privacy issues solved. Their ads are in an iframe.
