Adding facebook contacts to gmail - Decoded!

It's official. How to add facebook contacts into your gmail contacts? Many of my facebook 'friends' were quite irritated with facebook's one way door policy which allows import of contacts from Gmail, hotmail etc but not the reverse. The catch here is that email ids we enter in our personal info is displayed as an image rather than text, which means you would have to add each one individually until now ofcourse. Prolificious claims to be able to do this, converting this image to text and adding contacts to your gmail. I don't know how far this is true as I have never used it myself because of its 'suspicious', shady name. So, is Mark Zuckerbeg still too good at grabbing stuff but giving nothing in return apart from Facebook, ofcourse? Well, his protective armour has been stripped. And it's a sight to behold.



To put things straight, YahooMail has already done it. So, my inactive yahoo ID did come of use finally. It's simple. Import contacts from Facebook using Yahoo's import feature and then save the csv file. And, you are ready to go. Do I need to tell anything more?

Go ahead, lets hope you have not forgotten your Yahoo! password. And if you are utterly jobless, trawl through the 1000+ emails in your Yahoo! inbox. I am in 666 and counting.

Or if you feel facebook is your marijuana, you have the FB app FMail which lets you check Gmail in Facebook without having to leave Facebook at all.

Now, here's the final cherry on this post. Have you ever felt the need to schedule a message to someone on Facebook but couldn't since that feature never existed? Well, think again because you can now schedule Facebook messages using Sendible. All you need is to create a Sendible account and Bingo!
