* Wall posts by day, month and year.
* Most common words (including swear words).
* Most common profiles posting on wall.

Examples:

# Instructions:

* Download your facebook information. http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=18830
* Pull this git repository, or download the whole thing. Be sure to place it in the *same directory* as your downloaded facebook information.
* Run `python fb_parser.py`
* Download your <a href="http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=18830">facebook information</a><
* Download and unpack the Facebook Analyzer package in the same directory as your downloaded facebook information. The <code>index.html</code> file from the downloaded facebbok information files should be in the same directory as the Facebook Analyzer package's <code>fb_parser.py</code> file.
* Run <code>python fb_parser.py</code> from a shell in the above directory. Don't know what this means? Ask your child. Don't have children: ask your neighbor's children.
* Open up the `results.html` page in your browser and browse your results.

Enjoy,
Evan Carmi
