Importing contacts to Linkedin

Hi guys, no art for this second, but

If you are trying to import your contacts from FACEBOOK to LINKEDIN (which is a firey hellstorm of bile), you CAN. It seems impossible because the file uploader at linkedin doesn't work, and yahoo will only export a blank csv. Linkedin will import your contacts from Gmail (but I had not exported my contacts from facebook to gmail yet!!):

I have hundreds of contacts to sort through. I needed a way to migrate everything at once.

You can probably find something that just exports facebook data to gmail directly. Should have thought of that first. http://techland.time.com/2011/06/02/how-to-export-facebook-friends-for-import-into-gmail-contacts/. I took the long way-- and after skimming through this link, it seems like vital info (like email addresses) is left out using this method.

So F that, here is the long way:

1) Create a yahoo.com email account (I connected my facebook to a new yahoo account).
2)Import contacts from Facebook.
3)"Print" your contact list. Sort of. You want to print a DETAILED VIEW. After bringing up the print dialogue for printing the contacts, hit cancel. The page with ALL your fricken addresses will be staring you in the face, but you can't SAVE them yet. So highlight everything but the header ("yahoo address book") and COPY (ctrl+C). Tables, cels and all. It's fine.
4. Go here to generate the CSV. http://www.funbutlearn.com/2013/01/export-your-facebook-friend-list-to.html (Paste what you copied in the first window).
5. Copy what's GENERATED below and PASTE it in NOTEPAD and save as a .CSV. Type .CSV after the file name as this file type is not listed below (just leave it at "all files").
6. Open your new CSV in Excel.
7. Name your columns by dropping everything down a cell and naming each category. Google explains this better: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/12119 IT WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU NAME YOUR COLUMNS!!!!
8. Import your newly edited CSV to Gmail.
9. Import contacts to Linkedin from Gmail.

Boom.
