Facebook Takes A Passive-Aggressive Slap At Google+

Facebook has blocked a Google Chrome extension called Facebook Friends Exporter that saves loads of time by importing your Facebook contacts into Google+.

There are a few ways to interpret the move -- Facebook could feel threatened by a new social network designed by a hugely successful tech giant, or it could simply be a noble effort playing watchdog by protecting its users' information.

There are obviously lots of parallels between Facebook and Google+. We'll see which one is actually a threat to the other.

UPDATE:
Facebook Blocks ANOTHER Tool That Moves Your Contacts To Google+

​
We've seen it play out before, and now it's happened again.

Facebook is playing defense against Google+ and blocking a service that scrapes your profile for data to make the switch to Google+ easier.

This time it's a tool by a company called Open-Xchange aimed to rebuild your contacts from Facebook inside of Google+ by using nothing more than your contacts' names. Then it matched these names against your personal email records.

If Facebook won't even let software access names, then there's trouble brewing.

 
I can't even access my contacts Facebook names in Yahoo mail to transfer over to Google+!
 
They are estimating that 10 million + people are already using the google service. Granted fb is vastly larger, they should be concerned over porting all users
 
Have you checked out Tom (formerly of Myspace)'s page? He has so much love for Google+ and not so much for Facebook.
