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:

1. 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
2. Go to "Import Contacts", and you'll see the Facebook logo. Click it and say "OK". You'll see all your FB contacts
3. "Select all" contacts, go to "Actions", "Export all", and choose "Yahoo CSV file". File will download to computer
4. Switch over to your Gmail account associated with Google+ account
5. Go to "Contacts" tab, go to "New Group", and create a group called "Facebook"
6. 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"
7. 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 :)

Does Google+ Matter

It's been very interesting to see how much "buzz" Goggle+ has generated in the past few weeks. (an ironic choice of words) So now that we have seen and used it, and as people migrate to it as an alternative to Facebook...it begs the questions; does Google+ matter?

• A new social network is added to the interweb almost every day, but not by Google...so that matters.
• Buzz was a complete failure, launched by Google...so that matters.
• Facebook is the 800-pound Gorilla, but evil to some...so that matters.
• Facebook is the 800-pound Gorilla, and works fine for most...so that matters.
• Social has been more important than sharing, so far...so that that matters.
• Video chat isn't new, but simple group video chat is...so that matters.
• A Circle is just a Group, but easier to use...so that matters.
• You already have too many social media profiles...so that matters.

Look, Google+ is fun, but far from proving itself as the "next big thing" in social media. The buzz around it will last for some time, and the early adopters will be in for a bumpy ride. We'll stay on top of it as it evolves to maximize its potential because it's Google...and that means it does matter.
