Facebook is a social networking site whose popularity has exploded in recent years. There is a huge amount of customization within the Facebook framework, but it is not designed for you to leave or take anything away. Up until recently there was no way of deleting your own account.

Backup Tools

There is no official export utility, and unofficial export tools are limited.

  • FriendCSV exports your contacts to CSV files.
  • Facedown downloads photo albums from Facebook.

This leaves wall, profile information and the plethora of facebook apps out in the cold. Perhaps a backup app could be written for Facebook from within Facebook using the applications framework.

Signs of Instability

Currently stable.
