~Seriously?!~

I've been using Facebook for awhile now. It's a wonderfully easy to use social networking website/service that offers photo hosting (more on this later), privacy management, and the ability to install plugins "applications" to tailor the service to your liking.

One of the best things about Facebook, in my humble opinion is the ability to create effectively unlimited photo albums (limited to 60 photos per album), with the ability to tag friends in each photo. The one problem i've had so far as a Mac user however, is that uploading photos with the Java uploader is horribly slow and clunky.


It's not just the loading that takes time on a slow connection, the time it takes to upload a photo even with a good connection is agonizing. The Java uploader will attempt to shrink all your photos (even though they're already shrunk) before uploading them.
I've had it fail on me time after time.

I therefore suspect that Facebook, knowing this launched the iPhoto Uploader to alleviate this issue. Problem is, it never worked for me until version 1.0.5 was released. The previous 1.0.4 version kept telling me that i had some internet connection issues (which plainly i did not). Among the myriad of things the app allows you to do are, create albums, use existing ones, tag your friends along with the description of the photo.



So, if you're a Mac user on Facebook, hit the download link: Facebook iPhoto Uploader
I highly recommend it ;)
