Facebook has started testing a system that lets users pay to highlight or promote posts. By paying a small fee users can ensure that information they post on the social network is more visible to friends, family and colleagues. The tests are being carried out among the social network’s users in New Zealand.

So how do you get your pictures out of it now it’s gone all mainstream and evil?
Enter the talented Über-developer James Whelton (of CoderDojo fame) with GramGrab which allows you to grab your photos before deleting your account while maintaining your hipster credentials.
Innocently puerile.
With a great ending.
