New and Improved Facebook Photos (Finally :p)

It looks like the people at Facebook have finally realised the need to enhance the way we use photos on facebook. In September last year, Facebook announced that it would gradually roll out three big improvements to photos on Facebook.

The first of these was providing for higher resolution pictures. By providing support for better picture quality, without any charges unlike some other providers, Facebook clearly gaines some extra brownie points. Facebook increased the size of photos from a mere 720 pixels to 2048 pixels on the largest edge. The high resolution pics are a treat for the eyes.

The more recently released update of the new and improved photo viewer is again a good step by facebook. The problem earlier was pretty simple(but seriously frustrating to say the least ) that when we clicked on some photos, then we had to hit the back button on our browser again and again, hence loosing track of where we were(frequent users of facebook would know what im talking about). With this new image viewer, images are now opened in the same window in which u click on the pic. Not only this, the images now load much faster than earlier.

The last update was the easier tagging and uploading feature. Now we can tag multiple people easily. You can tag a single persom in many photos pretty easily now. The uploader too has been rebuilt from scratch and is now much more stable and reliable. So it will now be easier to upload, tag and view your pictures on Facebook.
