I have successfully pulled my photos and notes from Facebook using something Facebook provides (but doesn't advertise). I basically requested an archive of my entire Facebook contents. I got an e-mail when it was done compiling. I clicked the link in my inbox, had a new tab opened for me and then was prompted to enter my password. Once the password was entered, a download box popped up and it began downloading my archive as a Zip file. Bottom line, I now have all my photos that I had on Facebook in one folder separated by album in named folders and I have my notes in one consolidated file. There are actually some extras that you get in the Zip that I wasn't even expecting, e.g. a file of previous messages, a file of wall posts, etc. Those were just bonus.
So, I have my stuff, I can see the old Facebook stream (within G+) without all the bullshit Facebook is now providing, I have the ability to +1 ANYTHING (Chrome extension, just got it) and more people are coming to Google+ everyday. I thought I was going to be able to go cold turkey from Facebook like I did with smoking. I guess I have to ween myself away slowly because all the people who still expect me to put shit on there.
Facebook friends: FIND ME ON GOOGLE+ SO I CAN DELETE MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT. OK? WE'RE STILL COOL, RIGHT? *fist bump*
