How to Import Facebook Friends into Google Plus

For a social addict, fewer things can be better than watching two Internet giants battle it out for Social Networking supremacy. Though the battle has just begun, one can easily see the pace at which improvements and newer features are being added to Google Plus and Facebook.

Google Plus and Facebook come with their own sets of pros and cons. Facebook has a massive user base and therefore chances of finding your old friends are higher. On the flip side Google Plus’s user base is growing at an amazing rate thanks to its enhanced Privacy and well layered grouping features.

Now that Google Plus Sign Up is open for all , it shouldn’t be long before Google + catches up with Facebook but Facebook is in no mood to make it cake walk for Google. It is banking on its biggest asset – 750 million active users.
