Yesterday I was inspired after reading this post on techcrunch. So inspired in fact, that I dropped all dev on my current project (http://snipt.org) and began hacking away at a new one, a tool that would allow you to export your Facebook data. Less than 24hrs later, its done.
FacebookExport.com is a simple tool that exports the majority of your Facebook data to an XML file. My hope is that other sites will create parsers that allow you to import the data into other services like wordpress, posterous, flickr, etc. I’m calling the format “FBE”, short for “FaceBook Export”. I’m not sure how long the tool will be live so hurry and reclaim your datawhile you still can!
Here is a small sample of my personal profile exported, as you can see by the scrollbar on the right, there is a TON of data not shown in this image, but its all there in the export file.
The company I work for, Decision Lens, is getting into the social media game [finally, somewhat... ok just a little]. Anyways, we have a youtube channel now, it’s pretty sparse at the moment but if you are a “youtuber” it never hurts to follow the Decision Lens YouTube Channel to keep up to date with our new videos.
In the meantime checkout this vid, it’s a little long but in all fairness it’s pretty hard to describe what the Decision Lens Suite does in a succinct way, it’s a very powerful software platform with a wide range of uses-and the video goes a long way in explaining that. Check it out, for more info visit the Decision Lens website.
The College Blog Network is changing, and they want their users to influence these changes.
