Facebook introduces shared photo albums !!!

A picture's worth a thousand words, and now Facebook is letting others add to your conversation.
Fear not, for Facebook is finally going to allow you to collaborate with your friends to create the
definitive photo album of every social encounter.


Like the system for creating events and inviting other friends to be "administrators," the new shared albums feature will give users a new "add contributors" button on the upper left-hand corner of a photo album after they first create it.
The album's creator will be able to add up to 50 additional contributors, each with the ability to add an additional 200 photos to the album.
Facebook said that the feature is only available on the desktop version of the social network for the time being, and will be rolled out to English users to start with a wider launch follow the initial trial period.

Facebook engineers developed the new feature in order to resolve a common frustration of multiple users creating nearly identical photo albums of the same event — a problem that smaller developers have tried to resolve with varying levels of success (and failure) with apps like FlockAlbumatic, and the notoriously unpopular Color.
 Album creators will have the power to delete or modify photos in the album, but contributors will have editing power over photos that they upload. The feature is not available for Page albums, says a Facebook spokesperson.
