While we recognize there are implications for developers, we want to ensure the protection of our users. Perhaps even more shocking to some of the users and former users of the platform is the vagueness of these announcements.
In mid-December, not long after the December 10th announcement, Gideon worked with a handful of volunteers to gather questions from the community about the shutdown process, which he then compiled into a document on Google Drive.
Unfortunately, answers have not been forthcoming. Unfortunately, I have heard that Google Takeout is not perfect and the data can be very difficult to make heads or tails of … assuming it works at all. I gave it a try earlier today January 15, and I will update this blog post once or if it completes.
You will receive an email when your archive is complete. Update January 16, My update is complete but with errors. Products with incomplete data are indicated below. Also, your archive contains a list of the missing files.
Please try to create your archive again. This approach often fixes the problem. Note: By default, Google Takeout will send a message to your Gmail account when the archive file is ready for download. I checked the archives after about 30 minutes, and my downloads for the smaller selection were available. Once available, you have a week to download your files. It was split into two downloads, each with a ton of files; but, I was able to find a list of my posts, which are downloaded as complete HTML files and even include comments.
Once you have retrieved your data, you can import it into WordPress. Some posts may not be downloaded by the free version of the app if the limit is met. I actually do not know how many posts I have since I downloaded the free version and I hit my limit after it ran for about 5 minutes. I am not entirely sure that this is useful as I would not want to import hundreds or thousands of mostly silly or useless posts into my blog.
Of course, if you just want to get it all onto a separate blog that you own so you can mine it over time, that might make sense. Either save them all in one Google doc or Word doc to be pulled from later, or go ahead and open WordPress and create a new post for each.
Do you have a follow button to the social network? If so, all of these issues need to be addressed.

Social media hangouts, such as Bebo, Digg, Foursquare, and Myspace, along with efficiency and financial apps, such as Evernote and Mint, may have access to lots of your personal data, and some can collect data on a continuing basis. Part of the problem is remembering where you have accounts.
They both have large databases of sites and apps that you can browse. When you see a site that sparks your memory, you can follow a link to the page that lets you delete your account.

I believe that technology has the power to change our lives—for better or for worse. For me, there's no better way to spend a day than talking to a bunch of experts about an important subject and then writing a story that'll help others be smarter and better informed.
