Facebook's New Photo Viewer

by - Thursday, February 17, 2011

I have to say, I really like the new photo viewer of Facebook. Not sure if it has been launched late last night or early this morning. Either way, I've only noticed the change two hours ago.
The photo viewer is a pop-up which means that I do not need to leave the page I am on whenever I click on a friend's photo, let's say... on the News Feed or on his/her wall. Whenever I am done viewing the pics, I simply click the close [X] button and I am back to the same spot I've left minutes ago. Staying on the same page while flipping through pics is simply cool!

Another new feature ~~~ one can scroll through the album by using the left and right arrow keys. Your mouse can rest awhile! *wink* The Esc key also comes in handy when exiting the photo viewer.

Commenting,sharing and tagging are still on... Of course! Facebook will never be the same without these three elements.

There's also the new Download Photo feature which I am not quite sure if all the users will like. Perhaps one day [I hope], FB will give its users the choice to allow or refuse the feature. Time will tell...

So there you go. How do you find Facebook's revamped photo viewer? Like it or not?

Oh.. before I go, let me share with you this cute YouTube video [Klepto Kitty, the Cat Burglar]. Thanks to Bianka for sharing this one on her Facebook wall. Enjoy and beware! Meow!

    I noticed this since late last year . It's probably late in some areas like yours there, but here in the Philippines, this change was a few months old. Hey, I've got an award for you , grab it from my blog.

    Like it very much. Do you realize that some of the pictures that we can see on the sidebar is related to the status or message that we open?
