Facebook and Google in data sharing spat
 

Facebook has responded to Google's decision to block the export of contact information from Gmail by offering users a work-around solution.

It has added a link, allowing users to first move their Gmail contacts to their computer and then upload them to Facebook.

Google decided to stop the process happening automatically, because it said that Facebook did not share its data reciprocally.

Both firms declined to comment on the dispute.
