The phrase you're looking for is Web scraping.
Unfortunately, copying data from Facebook and other websites and re-publishing it has a number of legal and ethical issues, which are probably more significant than the technical hurdles.
If you intend to use C# (I'm guessing from your tag), the HTML Agility Pack library will be useful.

I tried using js instead of c#. – Elad Benda Jul 23 '11 at 17:25
