**(UPDATED) As of Monday July 11th Open-Xchange's tool for transferring Facebook contacts to Google+ has had its access to Facebook revoked. Details [here](http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685%5F3-20078435-264/facebook-blocks-a-second-contact-export-tool/?ref=hypebot.com).*

Remember all of those **MySpace** fans you spent months collecting that drifted away as the social network fell out of favor. It may be hard to imagine it now, but someday **Facebook** will probably not be the place that your fans spend online. Unfortunately for you, **Mark Zuckerberg owns all of those fans**. Or does he? In the days since the announcement of the Google+ social network, several attempts have been made to **export Facebook Friends to Google**. Facebook blocked at least one, but the latest, and perhaps most sophisticated, export tool was released open-source yesterday by **Open-Xchange**.

Their goal was to **export Friends from Facebook into a GMail Address book** and then re-use them inside G+ to define your "Circles.” So [Open-Xchange](http://www.open-xchange.com/de/blog/blog%5Fdetail/copying-your-networks-meet-open-data/zeit/2011/07/07.html?ref=hypebot.com) developed an extension for their Social OX feature that enables copying of contacts back and forth using only each service's **official API´s**.

"Import to your liking, in Apple iCal, Gmail/G+, Facebook, Outlook, whatever you like," according to Open Xchange. "The data is also in the newly created **'Facebook' address book** for more exporting or playing pleasure…Now, go out and enjoy this new found liberation. And by all means, go forth and enjoy YOUR data."

**Get started re-capturing you fan [here](http://www.open-xchange.com/de/blog/blog%5Fdetail/copying-your-networks-meet-open-data/zeit/2011/07/07.html?ref=hypebot.com). Do it now**.
