I promised that I would update you on this latest announcement but, in my opinion, the only cool thing to come out of it was the ability to download a .zip file of everything you ever uploaded to Facebook.
I was waiting for the feature to come live and it already is for some accounts so I will give you the instructions:
Sign in to Facebook and select Account -> Account Settings. In the dialog box that pops up, look for Download Your Information near the bottom. You may not have it yet. If you do and you click, it will submit a request to Facebook to create the Zip file. That could take a few minutes to a few hours, since it involves collecting, formatting and compressing everything you have posted. When the Zip is ready, Facebook will send you an e-mail with a link to the download. If you don't have it yet, keep checking over the next few weeks!
Once the Zip file is downloaded to your computer, just double-click it to see what’s in there. There’s an index page that, when double-clicked, will open in your browser. A simplified profile page links to your photos, videos, etc. Or you can skip the index page and use your computer’s desktop to open the photos folder inside the file to see all your photos saved.
Our lives are now archived! Pretty Cool IMO
