We all use the status update feature in Facebook to communicate our feelings to our friends. But have you ever tried to read your old updates ? Do you have the curiosity to know what you have posted 9 months ago ? It seems to be difficult to read all your status updates in a single page. Unfortunately Facebook does not provide any direct link to achieve this task. But there is a work around which we can do to achieve this goal.

Using Facebook Graph to fetch status updates

• Login to your Facebook account
• Go to http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
• You will see the Graph API Explorer page
• There will be a button called Get Access Token, click on it.
• A pop up will open where you can find some check boxes to select your permissions.
• Select the User Status checkbox and click on Get Access Token button.
  
  
• After the above step is done, the access token text box in the original page will be automatically filled by a long token.
• Just below it you will find two options, Graph API and FQL Query. Select the Graph API option.
• In the text area write the following and press the submit button
  me?fields=statuses{message,updated_time}
  
  
• You can see all your status updates and time in JSON format.
