We've got three fascinating Facebook photo facts for you. Of the 500 million people on Facebook, 99% of them have uploaded at least one photo. More than 100 million photos are uploaded every single day. Facebook currently hosts more than 60 billion images.
Facebook is clearly a major player in the online photo sharing space, but are you getting the most photo functionality out of the network? The social networking site recently has improved the image experience greatly, but there are still some handy apps that can help you get even more out of your Facebook photos.
We've found five apps that we think bring something to the Facebook photo experience including editing, exploring, creating, managing and sharing. Take a look through the gallery for our choices and let us know any photo apps you use on Facebook in the comments below.
1. EDIT - Picnik
Did you know you can use Google's easy-to-use, capable photo editing software from within Facebook?
This means you can edit your pics -- Picnik-style -- after you have uploaded them. This is handy for quick mobile snaps, as well as older albums you might want to go back and re-edit.
2. MANAGE - Fotolink
Fotolink might not be the best looking Facebook app, but it makes uploading and managing your pics a cinch.
Using Fotolink, you can easily move photos between albums and copy your pics from certain other photo sharing sites.
One really useful function is the ability to copy photos from your friend's Facebook albums into yours using a folder-based drag-and-drop system.
3. CREATE - Animoto
Animoto offers another slideshow option, creating funky little 30-second animations that typically use between 10 and 15 pics.
There's the ability to mix and match and hand-pick photos from among all of your Facebook images - mobile uploads, profile pics, albums and more.
You can then select music from a wide variety (on the whole, they're of decent quality) and publish to your wall when you're done.
4. EXPLORE - Cooliris
As with the desktop and mobile versions, Cooliris for Facebook presents images on a spacey "infinite 3D wall" that lets you browse through your own photos in a super-fast, super-cool and super-fun way.
If any of your friends are using Cooliris, you can also explore their Facebook photo uploads. And if they're not, go ahead and invite them - you can post a link and message about Cooliris on your Facebook wall from within the app.
5. SHARE - TripAdvisor TripWow
A great way to share your travel experiences quickly and easily via Facebook is via TripAdvisor's TripWow app.
It automatically scans your photos for travel-related albums and creates a slideshow within seconds that you can post to your wall. Your friends will appreciate it, since they won't have to click through all your albums pic by pic.
There are customization options, but we've found the default settings make for pretty decent results.
