How to sync G+ status with FB ( Facebook ) ?
So are you on Google+ yet ? If you are already there and lucky enough to get invitation from Google or any of your friend, you might want to sync your g+ status with facebook, because some of you still don’t want to loose facebook also
Although, till todate, Google has not come up with any of the G+ API (they will come soon), but still there is way to sync the Google Plus status with facebook or even twitter ?
Yes, all you have to do :
Step 1: Go to http://facebook.com/mobile and get your personalized email address which can be used to post pic and post statuses on the facebook. (This is something which is private for you)
Step 2: Go to https://plus.google.com/ and go to the section where you can invite your friends to your G+ profile. This section can be seen usually on top right corner of G+ main page.
Step 3: Click on “Add a New Person” and write your personalized facebook email address which you got in Step 1.
Step 4: Drag this address to the circle below to create a new circle, since this email address cannot be seen publicly, so you need to create a new circle which should be hidden by others. You can do all privacy settings about circles, by going into the Privacy options in Google+.
Step 5: You are all set, now whenever you are updating your status at Google+, include your hidden circle that contins the facebook email and check the box which says ‘Also emil xxx people’ . Since your facebook email is not using Google+ so your status will be sent to facebook via this email.
Cool ? … yes … till you get any plugin or any other tweaks by developers, I think this is enough for you.
You can do the same steps for other social network also. For example: http://ping.fm offers you to update status on several networks via one personalized email address. You can use ping.fm for your G+ – Twitter sync as well.
Make sure you care about ‘Privacy’.

Great…. it really works. i can update my Facebook account from the Google plus. Keep on sharing mate
Very creative and perfect solution for the time being.
I guess I can keep bugging people till they move into this..
Cheers,

It works, but what gets posted to Facebook is truncated with “…” at the end.
my status goes well on facebook, if you are trying to post any link or photo, it will take your comments only but not the link or photo
thanks
No, I posted the comment “Just testing to see if the this works” on my Google+ stream and it showed up as “Just testing to see if this…” on Facebook.

I have seen the same problem. I have posted from a Chrome browser. I have posted from a Google + app on my Android phone. In both situations, my status gets truncated.
doesn’t seem to work from the android app
i haven’t checked if there is an option to send status to your non g+ friends. If there is none, I guess you won’t be able to do so
Jose, it only updates what you write on your links, photos or or anything. It only takes the words you write and email to your non G+ friends and hence updates the facebook.
It is great but, statuses with photos don’t show up.
Few things I’ve noticed… it doesn’t work on the android app since, the app doesn’t ask about “emailing” non G+ users… Also, it seems to truncate the field.
works, but the FB status is shortened and there’s a … at the end
how do i get the entire message to appear?
i think the google+ email template is doing this thing
let’s c if we will have better option in few days ?
This works


You deserve a *cookie*
Another incentive to get friends to join Google +
I have not yet seen G+ as an option in my ping.fm posting list.
Ping.fm has not yet offered the G+ because Google has not released any API info for G+, we’ll have to wait.
I tested this. For me, only the first nine words of the Google+ status update are copied to Facebook, followed by an ellipsis (…).
Due to the email template of Google+, only limited number of characters go to facebook status, would be fine for shorter ones , bear with us till any developer comeup with any idea …
I figured out why this doesn’t work.
The status that Facebook uses comes from the subject of the e-mail message it receives. Google+ won’t include more than nine words in the subject of the e-mail it sends from your Google+ update.
Unfortunately, this makes sense. Otherwise you could send e-mails with interminably-long subjects from Google+. Spammers could easily take advantage of this.
So we have to wait until there’s some app to do the status transfer. Oh, well.
+1 William …
Here are few more ways to update FB from G+ it does not exactly sync it but you can post to FB seperately… plus u can view your FB news feed in google+
ya that is another option where you can connect ur fb account and can view fb feeds, but yes again it is also an option for pre sdk era
thanks for ur share Ankush!
What if I update my twitter which is linked to my FB? will that update my G+?
you can try … i haven’t checked that
I must be doing something wrong. I have added my mobile email address, I have assigned my proper name to the contact, I have put it in a separate circle and I have turned on my FB account to accept incoming email. I am wondering if there is an issue receiving SMS and email?
seems fine Joey … the best thing to test is to put ur any other dummy email account and check if you were able to receive email from G+ updates ?
I do not want to update facebook or ping fm with google plus… I’d like to update google plus with ping fm posts…how do you do that?
wow!
but i am looking for FB to Google+, any ideas?
or a autosharing from my blog to G+, FB, Twitter, can help me out?
There might be several things so far. You need to search on Google for such FB Apps
What if I wanted the complete opposite… I want to log into facebook and have all my status updates stream to my google+
Is there an app for that?
well…try google it, there might be some facebook apps that can let you do that.
Is there a way to post a link to facebook from email? or does it just work for statuses? because that would be kinda lame..
It works for statuses and images, any image attached with the email will post to facebook.
