“Today, we’re introducing Camera, a new mobile app that makes using Facebook photos faster and easier,” Dirk Stoop reports fro Facebook.
“When you launch the app, you’ll see a feed of just great photos from the people you care about,” Stoop reports. “You can swipe to see more of any album or tap to enlarge an individual photo.”
“Now you can quickly share multiple photos all at once instead of having to post one at a time. Just select the shots you want to share by tapping the check-mark on each photo and then hit post. You’ll have a chance to add a caption, say where you were and tag friends before you share,” Stoop reports. “It’s also easy to edit photos with new tools like the ability to crop, rotate and add filters to any picture in your camera roll.”
Stoop reports, “Camera will be available for iPhone starting later today.”

Big “Efin” deal
Cool, a lot more people will be able to post their shocked faces when the FB stock tanks.
Yup. That’s when they’ll need to download the “drinks”!
Figured that would have been the purpose of dropping $1 Billion on instagram for doing this sort of thing. Will be interesting to see how people view this year’s from now when Facebook is just another MySpace case study
I hope the sellout of Instagram was in cash and not in equivalent FB stock.
This looks stupid to me. Why not integrate this into the FaceBook App?
That would require the left hand knowing what the right hand was doing.
