Facebook launches photo sharing program
The social network Facebook has launched a new application that allows friends to share photos with each other. The program called "Moments" has been available in the USA since Monday and is to be introduced in other countries at a later date.
It allows users to define groups with friends and then synchronize shared photos "quickly and easily" in these groups, explained Product Manager Will Ruben. It is often difficult to access photos that friends have taken of you, explained Ruben. Group photos are therefore often taken with several smartphones so that everyone has a snapshot. This is now a thing of the past with Moments. Two weeks ago, Facebook competitor Google introduced a photo service that is also available as an app on smartphones (Android and iOS). (SDA)
