Just thought I would let people know that this does not work for blind
users. I tried it and it got the stuff ready to download and then I had to
get through the security checks. The security check was to name people in
photos. I could not even get my husband to do this for me since many of my
friends are people he has never seen. So I could not identify the people and
had to cancel the download. And the pictures were not pictures that I had
been tagged in, they seemed to be random shots from friends profile pages.
And some of my friends are people I only know online and could not even
describe.
HTH,
Sherrie

How To Download Your Information From Facebook

One feature strangely absent from Facebook has always been the ability to
download your pictures, videos, messages, and other information to your
hard
drive. Now, with a few clicks, your updates can be easily saved.
All you need to do is head to Account, Account Settings, then to Download
Your Information.
From there, you can download a zip file containing all your profile
information, including your photos, wall posts, messages, videos, friend
lists, and other content.
If you unzip the file, you can actually view a simple HTML page of your
profile, with simple links to all of these things. It doesn't look like
there's currently any way to re-import that information back to Facebook.
