Scobleized : Why Facebook will never give your data back (Download Squad)

Jan 15th 2008 1:55PM A closed Facebook is not surprising. I'm surprised no one has tried to create a Facebook application that can export all your data, friends and all to XML. I guess they would have to add the application, too--that is if Facebook would ever allow.

It's just too easy for some people to NOT set up their own blog, and store email addresses and contact information somewhere else. I get Facebook messages from friends now instead of email messages. As someone show still has emails from 1996, it annoys me that I can't save them offline as I can with email.
