Method #1 supports many formats, including mainstream email clients like Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird. It also supports autoresponder exports like Constant Contact or Aweber.
The latter method will log into your email for you, download your address book of people who you’ve sent emails to and import it into Facebook.
Once Facebook has your email list, it’ll invite the fans and contacts of your choice to like your Facebook page.
