Facebook Photo Browser: SlickPhoto

Ok, so the Facebook folks have cleared up the problems I was having publishing an app I wrote, and I thought I'd do a quick writeup to announce it.  It's a relatively simple app for viewing your friends' albums.  I had one main goal:

View all your friends' photos without having to load multiple webpages 

Facebook is particularly frustrating for me in that every photo is on its own web page.  It's good because they can load new ads for you, but awful for a person who want to take a quick look through an album.  So I put together an app I named SlickPhoto:

I wrote this app in Flex, which means it's a Flash app.  Now, it started with a single goal, but I ended up with some features that are worth noting:

1. Download any Facebook album as a zip file - Good for Facebook stalkers ;)
2. Slideshows - View any album as a slideshow
3. Full Screen Mode - Both browsing and slideshows can be viewed in full screen mode.
4. Link to albums - You can create a link that will load directly into an album you want to view in SlickPhoto.  You can email this link to your friends so they can go directly into SlickPhoto to look at your album.

It's a relatively simple interface, so you can jump right in by going directly to SlickPhoto, or you can view the application profile before you start using it (although there isn't much there at the moment).  Note that SlickPhoto, like all my other Flash-based apps, has a form for submitting bugs so if you run into any problems feel free to contact me that way.

Now, if I could just figure out how to add search tags so people can find it easier through the Facebook search interface....
