Import your facebook contacts into google+

Those of you who have had the privilege of getting into google+ , you're probably enjoying it, but it's still an early release and has a few kinks to work out.  One of which you will notice is that there is no way to conveniently import your Facebook contacts.   Getting those in there beccomes a manual and cumbersome task.

Well dear friends, I have an answer for you, thanks to my friend Hector Yee (who also happened to work at google a while back).  He found a quick and clever way to get all your Facebook contacts into google+ using just your yahoo account.  It takes all but 1 minute to complete it.  Heres the instructions:
 Step1:
  • If you have a Yahoo account go to address.yahoo.com
  • Click on the facebook button to import
  • Export to a Yahoo! CSV file
  • Go to Google.com/contacts , Import from the CSV.

Step 2:
After that the new contacts will appear in your "find and invite" panel, 
Just drag them into a circle and at the bottom of the screen 


A green button that says "Invite (name of friend) to google+".  

Click that button and a dialog pops open confirming the invite.  

Click "invite" and you're done.
