How to Link Your Plus Account With Your Facebook Account
Google+ is touted as being a replacement for Facebook, and one of the options Google offers is the option of connecting accounts from other social media sites, allowing people to search your Google+ account and see Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Yahoo and Hotmail accounts as well. Other options allow you to synchronize the feed from your Google+ account to your other accounts.

Click the "Profile" link on Facebook. In the address bar, highlight the username in your profile URL. It's the name listed after "http://www.facebook.com/," which resembles "http://www.facebook.com/username." Hold down the <ctrl> key and tap <C>.

Tips & Warnings
If you use Google Chrome as your Web browser, you can use the Publish Sync extension to publish all of the things you post to Google+ simultaneously to Facebook and other sites as well, and vice versa.
You can use a service such as plusfeed.appspot.com to create RSS feeds out of your Google+ posts, and a Facebook feed reader application to post them to your Facebook profile.
