Google Takeout

G

oogle Takeout -- or Takeaway as it seems to be calling itself these days -- is the data liberating service of your dreams. Allowing you to export your Google based content should you wish to leave forever, or just want to have a copy for yourselves, the service has been gradually expanding to cover more and more of Google's services in recent months.

You: A Blogger or Google+ Page owner who dreams of controlling their data.
Us: A band of engineers who will stop at nothing to make your dreams come true.

The latest content to come under the liberating front is from Blogger and Google+. Blogger blog posts can now be exported as an Atom Xml file, and Google+ pages can be downloaded as html files with a json file containing the circles for every Google+ page you own. Everything can be taken out, or just individual pages or blogs, it's entirely up to you
