I just don’t know what you feel about Google+ so far, whether you’ve had a chance to try it yet or not, but one thing that really excites me is that it turns all of the search engine into one giant social network.
Google+ is more than just social networking, it’s an extension of Googleitself. Hence the name Google+.
Let me stop describing Google+ . Just watch this video to get a basic idea about it.

Coming to the point – most of us are on and all our beloved friends are in there too.
If you have started like me and want all your Facebook friends on it, one big question starts running through your mind – How to get them ?
Well you know, Google+ doesn’t have an inbuilt way to transfer your Facebook friends over to it. So, you will have to do some monkey business to get your Facebook friends into Google+.

How to do it ?

Getting your friends into Google+ is simple. All you need is this awesomeChrome extension called Facebook Friend Exporter, created by a Google+ user Mohamed Mansour.
1. Once you install, it adds an “Export friends” button to your Facebook toolbar.
2. So just visit your Facebook profile and click on “Export Friends” .
Depending on the number of friends you have, it could take a while, but you will have all updates on the process.
You should notice one thing here, the extension doesn’t directly add your Facebook friends to Google+, it will actually add your friends to Google Contacts.
However, this the most simple and easiest way to go about inviting and adding friends on Google+, as it uses your Google Contacts to suggest people to invite using an easy drag and drop process.Note : Please be aware that exporting your friends from is against its terms and conditions.

You also have the option to ignore any call you receive.

However, according to Facebook some users may face issues with video calling because of hardware and/or software incompatibility. Facebook video calling is supported for the latest versions of Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Internet Explorer web browsers.
