Start Browsing the PhotoGraph!

The ribbon is cut! Here we go! Our team made some great progress this week and are glad to announce that PhotoGraph is live! So install the app and kick the tires. Let us know what is great and what you hate. We want all kinds of feedback so we can quickly iterate and give you the best photo experience on facebook.

Navigating in PhotoGraph is very straightforward. Simply click on one of the thumbnails on the right to load it into the main view. Another three related thumbnails will load. By browsing this way you will discover photos you have never seen and never get the sad feeling of coming to the end of an album. Additionally, you can star a photo by clicking on the small star in the upper left corner of the main photo. Your recently starred photos will be displayed on your profile. Hopefully in the future this will also let the people in the photo know that you found a great photo of them!

You will also notice that much of the facebook photos app functionality is still there. Captions, people tagged, and album will all display. This will help you know "where" you are in the PhotoGraph. Before this feature was implemented I got "lost" many times, seeing photos I didn't recognize and desperately looking for thumbnails containing someone I recognized so I could find my way back to familiarity. It was fun.

So check out the app, invite your friends to join and start getting lost in the largest photo network in the world.
