RSS, baby!
You are no longer trapped in an asylum. A part of a drastic initiative to let your memories be just that — yours — I thought I’d start by fulfilling the most simplest but asked for demand: RSS feeds.
You can now get one for the past week, month, year, or all time (click on the 
icon in the top right).
While it may seem a simple fulfillment, there are a lot of uses for this.
For example, until the ‘public diaries’ feature makes its way (it may be sometime), you can share your RSS feed with your loved ones and have them be a part of your memories with their news reader (be careful though, if it gets out, you’re toast!)
Also, for those who wanted “backups”, a simple Right Click + Save Link As of the All Time feed will do it for you. A great thing about backing up with RSS is that you’ll be able to “import” it in many places, including any newsreader. A lot of people wanted XML export, but rather than do a proprietary format, I think something so widely used is much better.
That said, XML exporting is still coming, however. But it won’t be proprietary. I’ve decided to do some homework on calendar formats (.iCal, .CSV, etc.) and find the best way to give you your data. Essentially, the idea is that you’ll be able to then import your memories into a tool like Google Calendar or Outlook. Now, wouldn’t that be cool? Stay tuned. :)
