Contact management, 2017
Many sites have different bonuses eg yahoo can import fb while fullcontact connects with twitter. I don't think its good to leave contacts on only one site , just incase one is down.  I also like having 'hard copy'. I do this every so often.


Mac Sierra
  EXPORT contacts->  all contacts -> edit -> select all (see count change) -> edit export-> vcard
 
  IMPORT to fullcontact (FC) site  ,
    settings -> import , selecting  the Mac-vcard from above
     link your social media contacts like twitter,  and  linkedin  if you wish
    EXPORT     fullcontact site:   backups-> select latest file
 
    IMPORT into yahoo, select contacts icon, select  import contact , add gmail and facebook if you wish
    EXPORT actions dropdown  select yahoo-csv , or mac vcf
   
    outlook IMPORT, select a file from above  and allow to select  a file  , then click upload , located  top left of popup box .  However  there is 2k number of contacts  limit and 5mb file size upload limit.
     EXPORT , outlook/hotmail : manage ->export
   
 IMPORT gmail , more-> import
 export gmail, select all the checkbox, more ->export , making sure to select ALL (third radio button)

 now import the gmail into Mac Sierra, file-> import

This process allowed me to save facebook, linkedin, google+ and twitter contacts and finally all in one file on my mac, where i can permanently store on backup drive

Sharing contacts among your social accounts:

Flow of Contact Sharing

Step	1	2	3	4
Source--->Target (tip)	spreadsheet	----->facebook (find friends->other->select file)	----> spreadsheet of phone numbers that user has made public or friend access to enabled as shown on their info tab on their profile ( account-> edit friends -> contact -> copy paste each 'page' to notepad/texteditor then save -> use spreadsheet program to sort and edit and append to your existing list)
			------>yahoo mail (facebook-> login fb connect)	---->google plus (find-> login yahoomail)

Facebook tips:  

1) to see all the applications that you have installed do the following: 

on the application from bottom menu bar, 

click 'edit- on the right  

select 'authorized' from show drop down.  

2) to display all friend's 'profile photo':  

friends-> recently added 

select '---' in the show dropdown  

3) to see only your wall posts, without going to your profile : use the link http://www.facebook.com/wall.php likewise use 'wall to wall'  

4) to see the groups that your friends have joined: 

use link http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?friends  

5) There is no need to RSVP to an event (for privacy..) , 

use 'remove from events' this will make the event disappear. 

6) to see the updates for the fan pages that you have tagged: use http://www.facebook.com/inbox/updates.php  

7) to remove an application, go to the main link it will always appear on the very bottom of the app. At the application page, use 'Remove application' 

8) to preview an application's ratings/reviews, click on the highlighted name before 'allow'/accept. This will give you a chance to read what the app is before installing. Once at the application's page you can use 'go to application' and it will ask to install/accept/allow  

9)organizing your friends you can categorize your friends, and this is private just as you would create email folders...

select friends-> all friends 

on the left type the name of group eg: College Buddies click on the new list add your friends

* a friend can appear in more than one list 

* a list can be used when sending a facebook mail 

* it can be used for many applications when sending an invite- via 'filter' 

* it can be used when sending a group invite 

* it can be used for privacy settings. Create one for lesser known folks, such as those for facebook games only....  

10) setting privacy : 

from right side main blue bar, 

click settings -> privacy 

select profile tab use both the basic and contact tabs. 

click on the dropdown , 

select 'customize' a window will appear : 

select the network, friend of friends or only friends if you have friend list (see #9) defined, then you may select this as well
