Not working for Actual facebook data.

I have a facebook friend named Deepika Meena, upon using the tool for extracting the word cloud, it gave the following error:

facebook_wordcloud -c config.json messages.htm "Deepika Meena"
Loading file...
Building HTML tree...
Parsing messages...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/facebook_wordcloud", line 9, in <module>

    raise MessageParserException("Conversation thread could not be found")

and also on using it on the given examples, it ran into this:

Thanks for bringing these to my attention. The error you are having with the given examples were because the interface to the wordcloud library had been changed recently...I fixed that in 6a99ae6.

Your first issue is a bigger problem. I downloaded the messages archive and I've noticed that Facebook switched from identifying users by their names to identifying them by their #######@facebook.com address. If you figure out your friend's numeric profile ID (i.e. open up the file and manually look, or use something like http://findmyfbid.com/), it should work properly if you grab the latest version 1.1 (had to make a few changes in 5152624).

The other big issue is that Facebook did not backfill this, so messages from before the change are identified by real names still. So in a single thread you will have a mix of both options, which is a bit hard to handle. For now those messages are going to be ignored until I can come up with a better solution.

Sorry that this isn't a great solution!
