Facebook has been doing its best to block the tools which has been giving access to people to extract contact information of their friends.

“Facebook is trying so hard to not allow you to export your friends. They started to remove e-mails of your friends from your profile by today July 5th 2011. It will no longer work for many people,” admonished Mohamed Mansour, developer of the Facebook Friend Exporter tool (a device that controls data extracting process).

According to Google, it’s not abominable to extract information of their friends. On the contrary, Facebook provides only a device to let people extract self-put information into the network but not more than that.

Facebook’s commotions to restrict data extraction were impressive because most Facebook Friend Exporter tool users declared that the tool didn’t work. It didn’t extract any information except the Facebook names and pages. Furthermore, Facebook had already started exposing addresses in graffics instead of text. So, it was tricky to extract more information but Mansour sidestepped this obstacle by using mobile version of Facebook’s site and extracted information what he needed.

Mansour isn’t the only one who is violating Facebook’s regulations. Rafael Laguna (chief executive of e-mail and collaboration software maker Open-Xchange) declared that his organization is also working on a collateral tool.

“If it works we will release it on our test server immediately,” said Laguna and acknowledged that it might be tricky but once installed, the software will check blocking efforts.

Google is fighting for social network

Google is another issue. It has already got a great network and services that most of the people sign up for. It’s got a strong brand name, mature advertising technology, plenty of experienced programmers and a cumbersome global network to operate at large scale. The thing that Google lacks is “social network” like Facebook and the tumult of rebuilding a person’s social connections at Google+ is a extensive hurdle to Google achieving that success. So Facebook is rightful about being dubious of letting this data out of hands.
