Thanks for the info. I did follow the instructions and was able to download the zip file, however it only seems to have 6 months or so of information. I have had an account on Facebook since August of 2008, but the information on my wall in the file I downloaded only went back to May 2010. I’m not sure if there is some other trick to downloading the entire profile or if I am just not opening the right archive of the wall, but it doesn’t appear to be the entire profile from creation.
