Facebook now lets you Download Your Information

Facebook has surprised everyone by rolling out a new feature that allows users to download all of their profile information locally. It's called Download Your Information and allows you to grab your correspondences with friends including your messages, Wall posts, photos, status updates and profile information.

To do this just go to your Account Settings, click the Download Your Information link, and then just click the Download button. Your data is compiled to a single archive file and a link provided once it 's ready. Click the link and your data starts downloading, it's that simple.

Facebook do warn you that the information needs to be kept safe as it contains all your profile credentials. The information is stored and accessible through html files included in the archive. So
viewing your data offline is simply a case of loading it in your browser making it pretty painless to navigate through your information.
