Backup Your and Your Friends Facebook Photos
Posted on December 7, 2011 at 5:37 am
Facebook makes it very easy to upload photos from a cell phone. Many of us with limited cell phone storage space delete photos after uploading them to Facebook, making Facebook the only place where we can access our pictures. Since we have a backup system for everything else (or should), we should definitely have a backup system for Facebook photos.
Facebook2Zip allows you to download all of your Facebook photos in a nice, neat zip file. Even more, you can download any of your friends’ photos as well.

A while ago, we wrote about using a disposable email address, meaning an address created to satisfy Web site registrations, yet avoid otherwise inescapable spam for your real address. This week, we have found another such service with a different set of features.
