Recently Facebook blocked the usage of Facebook Friends Exporter, as its name suggests, it was capable of exporting the contact information of your Facebook friends, i.e. their email ids registered with Facebook.



Since the blocking of the tool, many are finding other ways to export their friends contact information, so as to use the same on Google+, even the author of the Facebook Friends Exporter, has promised that he will try to find another loophole so as to make his tool work.


Since many of us, including me, are impatient and can’t wait till Facebook Friends Exporter’s author releases an updated version, I managed to find a big loophole capable of extracting your Facebook friends contact information and adding it to your Gmail account, so you can use it to invite or to find your Facebook friends on Google+. The big loophole being the partnership between Facebook and Yahoo!.

Follow the below mentioned steps to know how.

#1. Before getting started make sure you have a Yahoo! mail account, if not make it from here.

#2. After logging into your Yahoo! account, click on Contacts tab.





#3. Then click on ‘Import Contacts’, and then on Facebook icon.

#4. A popup will appear after you click on Facebook icon. Enter your Facebook credentials and give permission to share your friends contacts with Yahoo!.

#5. Now all your friends contact information will get imported to your Yahoo! account, and your contacts page will resemble to the below image.


  #6. Now to export all your contacts from your Yahoo!  account, click on Action, a drop-down menu will appear and on that menu click on Export All.




#7. Export it as a Yahoo! CSV and download the the file onto your computer. (The name of the file will be similar to yahoo_ab.csv)

#8. Now you have all your Facebook friends contact information on a csv file, which can be imported to your Gmail account. To import the contacts into your Gmail account, log-in and click on Contacts on the left sidebar, create a new contacts group, like Facebook Friends and import the contacts from the csv file.



Now you have all your Facebook friends contact information in your Gmail account, since you want to use it with Google+, log into your Google+ or click on your name prefixed with + on the Google toolbar to straightaway get you into your Google+ account.

When you get into your account now you will be able to see Google+ making friend suggestions relating to the contacts in your account and in your Circles page you can invite those friends who are not already on Google+.
