Earlier this month, Facebook announced the launch of a new feature called "Download Your Information". The feature is fairly self-explanatory: hit a button, and Facebook will compile an archive of all the data you've ever uploaded to the site ? photos, videos, messages, and more ?�which you can download in a handy Zip file for archival purposes. Given how much content people are storing on Facebook these days this is great news, but it's got one catch: your archive will be missing anything that appeared on your Facebook Wall prior to mid-2006. The Wall has long been one of Facebook's most popular features, allowing friends to leave each other brief notes and links in a semi-public area, and in the days before News Feed it was the main way people interacted with each other on the site. I'd looked forward to reliving (or at least, skimming) the birthday greetings, lewd jokes, and awkward invites left on my profile in days of yore, so I was a bit miffed when my stroll down memory lane was cut short.
