In Facebook’s own words:

To give people more control and choice over their data, today we’re introducing two new data portability types, Facebook posts and notes. People can now directly transfer their notes and posts to Google Docs, Blogger and WordPress.com.

All these services are pretty popular. Google Docs is known for its excellent office features. Blogger is Google’s own blogging platform, and WordPress.com helps people create WordPress-based blogs for free.

Users of these services will appreciate this expansion of Facebook’s data transfer tool.
