Data-Mine Your Own Facebook Data With Wolfram Alpha

Nerval's Lobster writes "Ever wanted to mine your own Facebook data? Wolfram Alpha is offering you the chance. Wolfram Alpha bills itself as a 'computational knowledge engine.' In contrast to other search engines such as Google and Bing, which return pages of blue hyperlinks in response to queries, Wolfram Alpha offers up objective data: type in the name of a person, for example, and you might receive their dates of birth and death, a timeline, and a graph of Wikipedia page hits. Now Wolfram Alpha's offering a new feature that can spit back years of your personal Facebook data sliced, diced, visualized and analyzed."

    am I missing out ?

    If you think eating shit is a good meal, then yes indeed you are missing out
    bigtime.

    Hurry up and join the crowd of mentally deficient spineless human waste
    who think Facebook is a worthwhile pastime.
