Download your Facebook Information
Have you looked through the account settings lately and noticed the “Download your Facebook Information” link near the bottom?
Click on “Account” in the top right corner, choose “Account Settings” then click on “learn more” next to “Download your Facebook Information”. You’ll see a download button. Click on that and your Facebook information will be compressed into a downloadable Zip file. It might take a while until it’s available to download but once you get it you’ll have a record of your status, messages, photos and pretty much everything you’ve been up to on Facebook in the past. And now YOU own your own information and can re-use it where you like, maybe for Diaspora or similar?
