This is a use­ful appli­ca­tion that will back up your Face­book pho­tographs and friends list. It doesn’t require any instal­la­tion (I don’t like installing soft­ware as it can slow your com­puter down). It worked very well when I used it.

Face­book, a social net­work with over 250 mil­lion users, con­tains a mas­sive amount of pho­tographs (esti­mated at 10 bil­lion in 2008), and I’m sure many users take their pho­tographs for granted.

Many events can lead to the loss of a Face­book account, includ­ing hack­ing, loss of an email address and deac­ti­va­tion of accounts by overzeal­ous spam­bot detec­tors. Using this appli­ca­tion gives you a copy of all your pho­tographs so you need not lose your pre­cious memories.

It also stores a copy of pho­tographs taken by other peo­ple that have you tagged (i.e. you are in the pho­to­graph) help­ing you to add to your pho­to­graph collection.

Face­book Backup (obvi­ously requires a Face­book account).
