The social media saga

The previous year was distinctly different in the social media domain. Platforms like Pinterest, Instagram,Stumble Upon and a few others rose up to challenge the dominance of Facebook and Twitter. But the platform to gain most attention from a business prospective was Google+. The Google ecosystem with all Google tools is too alluring and complete. With the entire world dependent on Google for their searches, having a Google+ profile is almost mandatory.

Importing Friends

Now, with most of the world exploring variable social media platforms and Google+ serving up as one of the premier solutions, it becomes essential to get all your friends on your Google+ profile. But conflicts with Facebook and user protection issues have made it difficult to import friend lists from older social media profiles.

How to transfer contact list from Facebook to G+ using Yahoo?

One method to copy all your Facebook contacts to Google is through your yahoo mail account. The contact section of your yahoo mail account has an import contact option. Using this you can get all your Facebook contacts on Yahoo. Normally you could have downloaded all these contacts in a csv format and uploaded the same on Gmail contacts, which could easily be added in your Google+ circles. But as per new user protection guidelines yahoo does not publish this csv list. Another option was through contact assimilating engines like friendstogmail.com . You have to copy the results provided by the website on a document and save them in CSV format. This has to be uploaded on Google contacts and they are auto loaded on your Google+ where you may add them to your circles.
