This Wordpress blog is currently set up to fetch all my Facebook posts and save them as draft blog posts.
My hope is that this will prove a good way to have a searchable archive of my FB content, and to occasionally review interesting posts and craft them into something more substantial.
I use the FeedWordPress plugin to fetch an RSS feed of my Facebook posts. This RSS feed is generated by FBRSS.
As of this writing I'm only just starting to try this out. Suggestions welcome!
