I was pretty excited to read on the Facebook blog about a new plugin they’ve developed that lets users upload and tag photos directly from iPhoto.
One of my biggest problems with Facebook has always been that uploading photos is a ponderous, tedious, multi-step process. Next to the Flickr Uploadr Facebook’s little java-based app is kind of pathetic.
The only reason I use Facebook’s photo sharing feature is that it gives you the ability to tag people’s faces in photos and link those photos to the person’s profile. When you go to the profile, you can see “more pictures of so-and-so.” This is tremendously fun and also good for researching job applicants.
Now that I don’t have to worry about the annoying uploader any more, I’m even more excited about photo sharing on Facebook!
