Facebook has added a new download button in youraccount that will help you move all your data out of Facebook as a zip file. It
will have all your photos, videos, status messages, events and everything else
that you may have ever uploaded to Facebook.
The process, is extremely simple. Just go to your
Account Settings page and click the “Download Your Information” link.

Email Addresses of Friends

Facebook doesn’t offer a way for you to
export contacts but you can use this trick to
get all the email addresses out of Facebook without breaking any rules. Connect
