Create link to friend's profile page from news feed array

Question

I'm using the PHP SDK from facebook in my own application. When I retrieve the news feed for my own profile it contains the ID for each friend that has a message on my feed. Can I create a link to each persons profile page from just their facebook ID? Or do I have to make a separate API call for each ID and retrieve their username to create the link? This is how I'm doing it now (making the api call for each friend):

$feeds = $facebook->api('/me/home'); 
foreach($feeds as $feed){
    $friend_info = $facebook->api('/'.$feed['from']['id']);
    $friend_link = $friend_info['link'];

Answer 1

I don't know whether more elegant solution exists or not, but I offer you to improve your code to use FQL like:

SELECT profile_url, uid FROM user WHERE uid IN (1,2,3,4,...)

Answer 2

If you have user id then profile url is: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=<UID>
