Google+ doesn’t have an inbuilt way to transfer your Facebook friends over to the new social app, but since Facebook is clearly dead and everyone is on Google+ nowadays it’s best to get your contacts moved over before Facebook’s servers are switched off for good.
That might be far from the truth — though in the five minutes that were between myself getting invited through the backdoor and Google opening invites up to all existing users, the place went from ghost town to 90s rave — but it’d still be handy to have the option.
Mohamed Mansour on Google+ shares the easiest existing method of bringing users over from one service to the other, with the Facebook Friend Exporter extension for Chrome.
The tool adds an “Export friends” button to the Facebook toolbar. Please be aware that actually exporting your friends could lead to jail time for human trafficking.
Depending on how many friends you have, it could take a while, but the app keeps you up-to-date on the process.
What this process does is add your Facebook friends to Google Contacts. It does not actually add them to any of your Google+ circles. However, this is far and away the 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. Any other method that’s available at the time of this writing is much more tedious.
Update: after opening up invites for several hours, Google+ invitations are now closed.
“but since Facebook is clearly dead and everyone is on Google+ ”
Did I read that right? So Facebook suddenly died overnight? Wow .. lol

it’s all too much. yesterday, i’d never heard about this. today, it’s all anyone is talking about.
myspace got old quickly, so that wasn’t such a big deal. but i have too much invested in FB to be so blasé about switching…i’m gonna need a better reason to move.
So, if I give you my email address you’ll send me an invitation?
Here it is then, thanks in advance!… gabriel.barcenas@gmail.com

I sent an invite but no one has received them? Anyone else having issues?

chogodread@gmail.com
@Joel Falconer
It appears that the link I received just sent me to a page that said google+ was closed. I was reading up on people who got invites saying that once they got a second one it allowed them to enter the beta. Could you perhaps send me another one to see if this is actually true?
Could anyone please sent invitation to me? I am interested to join.

Oh the humanity! I have seen so many comments today where grown men begged like little boys for an invite to Google+. What will your family and friends think of you when they hear about how you earned that invite – through pleading and whining. Have you no shame, no self respect? Because it’s clear you men have no testicles.
BTW, where’s my invite – cute.semantics@gmail.com?

At first: I wouldn’t like to “transfer” them. Secound, I even don’t know, wheter google + is it worth as I don’t know it so far. Third, what does anyone, who doesn’t use google’s Chrome browser?
Thanks Joel for being willing to sign us up to invite to google +1. I’m ready to jump in. Please add inspiredaction09@gmail.com to your circle!

can you send me an invite to google+ to me too? francisco.morales.regionsurffa@gmail.com thanks
Once we join Google Plus with its excellent privacy options, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to continue using Facebook where all your friends and family are grouped together and your friends lists can be viewed by all. So I think people will opt to move away from facebook once they get comfortable with Google Plus. This would allow them to get all the benefits of privacy without Fb diluting it again.
