Update Facebook Status From Google+

The wait for Google+ social network is over, I got access to it with the help of my cousin. Google+ UI looks cool, especially the way we manage our social circles. Being a long time Facebooker one of the first things popped on my mind is “Google+ seems to be fun and while playing with Google+ should I double post my status updates? Once on Google+ and again on Facebook?”. You understand it right? I cant leave my friends on Facebook while I’m playing with Google+. So how about automatically posting to Facebook wall from Google+? It’s fun!!

Google+ updates can be posted to Facebook using simple feature of Facebook that lets its users post status with email id. Facebook lets everyone to post updates to their wall with a special email id, so configuring Google+ to share updates to that email id will do the trick. Lets see how to do it.

Step 1: Get Your Facebook status update email id – Login to Facebook and point your browser to http://www.facebook.com/mobile/. Find a section “Upload via email” and copy the email id listed below that section. That is the email id which needs to be added to Google+.
