I can't actually edit the post because its been too long. Just got the link, took over 3 hours and its an almost 100MB zip file (compare that to the ~50kb of actual data that I was interested in exporting). The actual stuff has none of the stuff that I would actually want to export (my friends email addresses and phone numbers are not included), the photos aren't the originals that I uploaded (which I would actually like since I lost some of the higher resolution copies) and absolutely nothing is in a format that would be useful for using the data in another website. That is the entire point of data liberation; this is just allowing you to store facebook so you can view it without an internet connection. That is not at all what Google's data liberation or Yahoo!s export features do; they actually give you the information you want in a format that would allow you to use it with one of their competitors. I hope that this post didn't sound too negative, Facebook is really a quality website in general and it's probably a great place to work, but the export feature is pretty clearly intentionally set up in a way that would make it impossible to use in any meaningful way. It is only very marginally different than doing a file > save page as in your browser. It's actually the perfect example of how opposed Facebook is to what Google is pushing when it talks about data liberation.
