If you include a lot of videos in Facebook Wall posts, a video you want to see again can quickly get lost in the updates. Facebook gives you the option to scroll down on your page and click the "Older Posts" link at the very bottom, but this gets tedious if there is a lot of data to go through. Fortunately, you have the option to use a third-party application, accessible directly in your Facebook account. Find the old video Wall posts you want using the application of your choice.
