Facebook's communal photo albums make it easier to share snapshots—or ignore them

In what seemsa no-duh move, Facebook is making photos more of a social experience. Rather than individuals uploading vacation photos for their friends to ogle—though there will still be plenty of that—users can now add photos to shared albums.

The good news: A group of friends can add photos of their communal camping trip to one album thatof their mutual connections can collectively ignore. Okay, okay, so photo album-sharing is actually really beneficial. Up to 50 friends can share 200 photos in one album, which is perfect for events—proms, weddings, trips—or sharing pictures with family members.
