Importing Contacts From Facebook
The dual power of Yahoo! and Facebook makes it easier to keep in touch with the people you care most about. One of the ways to do that is to import your Facebook friends’ email addresses to your Yahoo! Contacts making communication with your friends seamless wherever you are in Yahoo!.
Here’s How
Open Yahoo! Contacts. (Remind me how.)
Be sure that you are viewing all of your contacts (Select All Contacts from the View button).
On the right side of the page, click Import now under Import your Contacts from other accounts to Yahoo!.
Click the Facebook link.
Note: The next task shows you how to import Gmail, Windows Live, and other address book contacts.
A login window opens so that you can sign into your Facebook account. If you’re already signed into your Facebook account, you’ll see the window flash open while Yahoo! checks for your friends.
Type the email address you use to sign into Facebook, type your Facebook password, then click the Login button.
Yahoo! authorizes your Facebook account, closes the window, and then confirms that you’ve imported all of your Facebook friends.
Click Done to return to your view of all contacts, or click View imported contacts to see the list of people you just imported.
What’s Next
Once you are viewing all of your contacts, you can view the contacts you just imported from Facebook by selecting Last Import from the View button menu. Of course, this list changes each time you import contacts.
If you have contacts in other online accounts, you can import them into Yahoo! Contacts as well. The next task shows you how.
