  1. I'm one of those stupid sentimental people who won't delete any of these old statuses or comments due to embarrassment cause they all hold so many beautiful memories. Oh my gosh, thanks for posting this! Endless entertainment :') Sometimes I wish I could go back in time…

  2. Archviedbook doesn't go all the way back to 2007. I joined facebook on June 22, 2007 and want to get that far back. Is there anymore options.

  3. it doesn't go back to the very beginning. if you have a long post it doesn't show the entire post. and it only showed comments going back a month or so on my wall. but i did see some of my statuses from a couple of years ago. was expecting more but i guess this was all technology could do

  5. This is a great app but you can do the same thing by going to 'Account settings' and then 'Download your information'. It sends you an archive of everything you've ever uploaded to facebook: statuses, comments, photos, the lot!
