Facebook has been blocking and shutting down extensions that allow you to export your Facebook contacts over to Goggle+...but there is still a way. Here's a step-by-step work around by using your Yahoo account:
- Open you Yahoo account (takes a few minutes to sign up for one if you don't have one) and go to the "Contacts" tab
- Go to "Import Contacts", and you'll see the Facebook logo. Click it and say "OK". You'll see all your FB contacts
- "Select all" contacts, go to "Actions", "Export all", and choose "Yahoo CSV file". File will download to computer
- Switch over to your Gmail account associated with Google+ account
- Go to "Contacts" tab, go to "New Group", and create a group called "Facebook"
- Go to new "Facebook" group tab in left column, choose "More Actions", choose "Import", "Choose file", select the Yahoo CSV file you downloaded, select the "Facebook" label in the drop down, and hit "Import", click "OK"
- Switch over to your Google+ profile and click "Circles", you should now see all of the contacts on your Google+ account! (If not, you can also click the "Yahoo" icon next to "find friends", click "agree" to force a download, which may take a few "retry" clicks)
Requires a Yahoo account and a few minutes of your time, but if you plan on using Google+ as part of your personal social networking...this makes migrating contacts from Facebook easy, even if they don't want you too :)
