There is a piece on this in The Guardian today - he makes some

I would have thought that explains the massive continued success of
MySpace and Friends Reunited....oh, hang on a second....
It's interesting the way the Facebook can pull data from other systems
(ie, your email contacts list) but has no export.
I thought about writing one, I wondered if I would get blocked from
doing it...

I think you can get a lot of data out, but not emails of your buddys
(without screenscraping, per plaxo/scoble fuss earlier this year).
