Facebook is on a roll, Its making news on all front. In the past couple of days, the social networking site started rolling out its new homepage interface to 80 million members, it turned 6 years old yesterday, it probably welcomed its 400 millionth member already, it’s rumored to be working on a webmail service, and they just announced on the Facebook Blog an improved photo uploader.
According to the post, there are 2.5 billion photos uploaded to Facebook every month. Alas, the photo-uploading experience is not so great with the current outdated method. For starters, it’s very slow and has many technical issues. Additionally, the company says that many people were confused because of the installation method. That’s why in the next few weeks, they will be gradually rolling out a new browser plugin, which will ease the way you upload photos.
The company has rebuilt the uploader to run as a browser plugin, which should mitigate the bugs and other problems that users have sometimes encountered with it to date. To get started, users will need to install the plugin in their browser, a process the company says should only take a couple minutes max.
The top half of the photo uploader interface shows folders in your desktop, the lower half shows you photos to upload. Once you’ve begun uploading, you can navigate from the page, or Facebook, and when the process is done you’ll get a notification saying so.
