Facebook Unveils New Photo Album Design

Clicking through a friend's photo album (not stalking, I swear) used to be a painstaking task, especially when the album is robust and large. Just 20 photos per page would appear, forcing you to click through page after page of images. Say sayonara to wasting time, since Facebook has rolled out a new photo album design that allows you to see more images per page (up to 200), complete with larger thumbnails for easy viewing.

The new layout will eliminate all that extra white space on the page (thanks to the bigger, uniform thumbnails), but you won't have to worry about the gallery slowing down your browser — the images are loaded as you scroll down, so you shouldn't see any lag when viewing. This is just one of the upgrades that Facebook has rolled out this week, with sidebar boxes being ousted from Facebook Pages, and along with the news of the company's geolocation service potentially being rolled out soon that has everyone riled up about Facebook Places.

SD Card Photo Album: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

I favor keeping my photos in digital form on my computer instead of printing them out (although I do like having the option to print), so this SD Card Photo Album ($16) isn't really something that I'll be purchasing any time soon.

Having said that, I think it's kinda fun and kitschy, makes a perfect white elephant exchange gift, and could be cute to give to a tech-savvy friend filled with actual photos that have been printed on — wait for it — paper. What do you think?

Even though I haven't put a photo in a photo album in what feels like forever, I may re-start the old habit if I get my hands on this Camera Photo Album ($32).

The album is not only beautiful to look at with its vintage camera graphic, but it's also made of sustainably harvested cherry wood. Not printing out photos for albums anymore? Use it as a scrapbook or journal, as Urban Outfitters suggests.

Even though all those photo-hosting sites make it really easy for me to upload and share my photos with friends and family, it really doesn't help me stave off complaints from my grandparents.

Even though all those photo-hosting sites make it really easy for me to upload and share my photos with friends and family, it really doesn't help me stave off complaints from my grandparents. Since they still subscribe to the old-school photo album ways of the past (which is totally appropriate — they are in their 80s!), I can't help but feel guilty that they can't hop online and check out the pics from my latest cross-country adventure.

So instead of printing out photo after photo (and wasting money on photo paper, ink, or printing fees), why not take the best of your photos and make them into a glossy, hardbound, and professional-looking photo book? Mac users can always use iPhoto's quick and easy printing service, but for the rest of us there's Inkubook.
