Export Twitter data from Backupify

I also have this need, but have not found a perfect solution yet. Here is my semi-painful solution:

First I registered at Backupify, they generate a backup of my Facebook data once in a while.
And here is what I do when I want to sync from Facebook to my address book:

1. In the Backupify, open the `***_MetaData` file, where *** is your Facebook name.
2. In each line of this file, retrieve facebook id, name, birthday, current location.

I actually wrote a trivial script that filters out the friends whose facebook id is not already in my address book, to produce an HTML list of links to the missing friends' Facebook info pages, from where I can copy-paste.

Getting the phone numbers automatically would probably require screen-scraping, which I don't do.

I have given up on:

• Full automation.
• Synchronization of contacts that I have already in my address book.

But I would be glad if someone came with a better solution.

Lots of answers here, but YQL, although not google out of the box, the following query will help.

select title,url from search.web where query="pizza"

The RESTful URL for those results is:

http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20title%2Cabstract%2Curl%20from%20search.web%20where%20query%3D%22pizza%22&format=json&diagnostics=true&callback=cbfunc

YQL itself can be found here: http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/ It's a really useful bit of kit by Yahoo.
