While you're settling into Google+, you might notice that it's a little lonely without your friends.
Since
most of your friends are currently on Facebook (and might not even
know about Google+), you'll need to help them make the switch.
Here's how:
Step 1: Log into your Yahoo Mail
account. If you don't have one yet, create one. Then, head to the
"Contacts" tab in the mail dashboard. Click "Import contacts" and then
select the Facebook icon in the next screen. You'll be asked to
authorize the connection.
Yahoo will import all your Facebook friends' names and e-mails into your contacts list.
Step 2:
Go to Google+, log in, and click "View and edit" in the sidebar on the
right (below "in your circles"). In the next window, click "Find and
invite." Click "Yahoo," agree to the terms, and watch as Google imports
your Yahoo contacts (from Facebook) into Google+.
Step 3:
Add all the Facebook friends you want on Google+ into your custom
Circles. Then go to the Google+ dashboard, compose a post, and share it
with those circles. Make sure to check "Also e-mail * people not yet
using Google+".
Upon publishing your post, your friends will be indirectly invited to Google+, a trick we previously mentioned.
Because
Facebook doesn't allow third parties to grab users' e-mail addresses,
the company will likely continue to shut down apps and extensions like, Facebook Friend Exporter, that attempt to do so.
Other Web development teams
are attempting to bypass Facebook restrictions, but this Yahoo Mail
workaround is the only legitimate way to get your Facebook friends onto
Google+ (for now).
