My last blog for 2010! Have a Happy New Year Everyone!
Facebook in October of 2010 made it very easy to download the majority of your messages, photo's. videos and other content data that you input in to it.
1. Go to Account and choose Account Settings.
2. From the Download Your Information Section Choose "Learn More"
3. A dialog box will appear with a link for you to download your information. Click Download Now.
4. After clicking on Download Now the Request My Download will appear. Click Download.
5. After this step is complete you will need to wait for Facebook to send you an email with a link to a zip file containing all your personal data is ready for download. See below.
