One of the negatives to setting up and using a new social media platform like Google+ is creating your contact lists all over again. Many of you might be hesitant to get involved with Google+ because your community is already established on Facebook. If this is the only thing keeping you from trying out the new platform, there is a simple way around this roadblock. Here are the steps to migrate your Facebook friends to Google+.
1. Sign up for a Yahoo mail account if you don?t already have one. Log into the account and click on the Contacts tab. There you?ll see a function to import contacts from Facebook. Follow those instructions.
2. Once your contacts are imported click on the drop down box that says ?actions.? Choose export all and export to a Yahoo csv file.3. Now go to Google and log into your gmail account. If you don?t have one you can create one quickly. Since you are interested in using Google+ I?m going to assume you have a Google profile already. Once logged in, click on Contacts and create a new group called Facebook.
4. Select the group and then choose ?import contacts.? �Browse to where you saved the csv file and choose import. Choose the Facebook group as the destination and click import.
5. Now log into Google+, click on your circles and choose ?find and invite.?
That?s it! Now you can add anyone who?s already on Google+ to your circles and invite those that aren?t.
How do you like Google+ so far?
