This could also be important if you are trying to build your list of followers on Twitter, or find more connections on Linkedin! Once the contacts are imported into Yahoo!, you can login to your Twitter Account, and upload them to Twitter!
In order to make this work – you need to have a Yahoo! Account. Login to Yahoo! and go to your Contacts Page:
After you click Facebook, you will need to login to Facebook, and then you will see:
Now – If you don’t use Yahoo as your primary email account, you can export the contacts from Yahoo to a format that will work for Google, AOL, Hotmail, Outlook… or excel, where you can use it for an upload into your Contact Database. If you are using a service like Mail Chimp or iContact, make CERTAIN you are adding this folks with Opt In so that you do not get marked as a Spammer. This is also great news if you want to connect with Facebook Friends on Twitter or LinkedIn - use this contact list to "follow" your friends on other channels!
