Facebook Wants to Keep Your Friends

The Social Network is going to make it as hard as possible for users to jump ship and hop onto the new Google+ train.

Facebook has blocked a popular Chrome extension that would allow users to export their friends, and then import them into Google+.

CNET notes this is a direct violation of their terms of servie, which state:  โ€œyou will not collect usersโ€™ content or information, or otherwise access Facebook, using automated means without our permission.โ€

Mohamed Mansour, the man who built the Facebook Friend Exporter tool says, "Facebook is trying so hard to not allow you to export your friends. They started to remove e-mails of your friends from your profile by today July 5th 2011. It will no longer work for many people."
