Is there any way to export all the Facebook historical data from your profile (contacts, photos, videos, posts, links, comments, etc.) to a local storage?

This web app describes steps to achieve what you're looking for I think.

Update

It appears this addon was removed. It used to be called ArchiveFacebook, but I don't see it on the mozilla site anymore.

Facebook – Export Contacts from Facebook — The Painless Methods

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:

In the Backupify, open the `***_MetaData` file, where *** is your Facebook name.
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.

Gmail – How to move your emails away from Gmail

The Data Liberation Front is a quasi-independent effort at Google to help you free your data if you desire.

It's easy to use a different email reading program with Gmail using either IMAP or POP, or to get all your mail out to take to a different provider. Go to the Settings page (link at top right of Gmail page), Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
