Adobe Photo Uploader for Facebook

Despite its name, Adobe Photo Uploader for Facebook is not only a tool designed to help you upload pictures to the popular social networking website, but also a full-featured desktop client for Facebook that comes with notification capabilities.

After entering the Facebook login details, you are prompted to set permissions for grabbing data from your profile regarding friends, preferences, albums, posts, recent activity and choose who is allowed to view application posts.

Once the session is verified, the main window is displayed, containing information about unread messages and friend requests, Facebook status, latest posts and events. Practically, the application provides you with a desktop interface for Facebook, since you can modify the profile details, view the friend and ignored users list, start private chatting, read the most recent news, view status updates in real-time and post messages on the wall, all without accessing a web browser.

Uploading photos is a matter of a few clicks: you simply have to drag and drop the desired images (or even a whole folder) onto the main window and let the application do its magic. You can also create new albums, tag friends in photos, write comments and press the 'Like' button for any post, photo or album.

The application's interface is simple and intuitive, which makes it very easy to use. It can run silently in the system tray, display update alerts and help you stay constantly connected with your Facebook friends.

Although designed to make photo uploading easier, this is not the only function of Adobe Photo Uploader for Facebook. The application provides you with a viable alternative to Facebook's dedicated desktop application and is a must-have tool for any Facebook user out there.
