Phanfare Blog: Send photos directly to facebook with new Phanfare facebook app

  • Will · 10 months ago
    Wow! This is great! I just gave it a try and it works really well. And the best part is that it's done on the back end. I don't have to sit there waiting while my bandwidth is being used up or my computer slows down trying to process the request. I just mark the photos and it happens. Sweet!

    This is definitely an attractive new feature. Just one upload for full-res backups and genuine Facebook import!

    I love the direction this is going. Here's hoping that we'll hear more about further and more steamlined integration. iPhoto '09 plugin?

    iPhoto 09 is supposed to work...if it does't, we will make it work.

    glad to hear you like it!
  • Will · 10 months ago
    Actually I don't have iPhoto '09 yet. What I meant was an iPhoto '09 plugin that could harvest face tags and put them to good use. :)

    Dang. I didn't realize how fast and smart it was! By the time I clicked 'ok' and got to my Facebook album page, 20 photos were already up and by the time I was finished looking at a few of those, the 3rd new FB album was up.

    Feature Request: Automatically dividing Phanfare with Sections into different (and differently named) Facebook albums. That would be great!
  • Will · 10 months ago
    Also, any chance that we could check a box to have a link to the Phanfare album/photo automatically added as a comment to the album/photo? And what about videos? Is there any support for that?

    As you can tell... I'm a little excited about this.

    Very cool feature...something that I used to do manually until now! Thanks Phanfare!

    Feature Request: Allow photos to be added to an existing album on facebook? My facebook albums are not event-specific but rather time-specific...i.e. summer, winter, etc. So i add a few good pics from each phanfare album to facebook albums. The add to <existing album> feature would be great!

    Wow, this is just great! thank you for this upgrade...i never liked the old integration, and now I do not need to upload twice to two different sites.
    Great upgrade!!!
  • Brian · 10 months ago
    This IS cool. What I would like is to able to tag photos with the word facebook on my computer and have those pushed directly to facebook when uploaded. Or maybe when uploading photos using Lightroom, it could just be the ones with 5 stars get pushed to facebook. There has to be a way to do it all in a single step.

    This is great. Like it a lot.

    thanks for the feedback. we will see how people use it and then tweak it.
  • Sue · 10 months ago
    I'm excited- I use both so it'll be interesting to see how it works! THANKS!

    Cool!!! What about comments on my albums from people which don't have phanfare acc?
  • erlichson · 9 months ago
    the facebook transfer moves images to facebook. comments and tags added on facebook don't get synched back.
  • Will · 9 months ago
    Is it currently even possible, or does FB not allow this?
  • Facebook User · 9 months ago
    It's against the Facebook TOS to store any queried information besides certain unique identifiers. Really it wouldn't be technically possible without some sync'ing support on Facebook's side, otherwise Phanfare would have no way of knowing that data on Facebook changed.
  • Will · 9 months ago
    Ah... to bad. Thanks for the response.
  • Brian · 9 months ago
    Thanks for this new feature! I want to echo what some other people said about allowing us to add photos to existing Facebook albums. Without that, I'm afraid this isn't too useful to me yet since I typically trickle photos into a Facebook album over the course of a couple of months before starting a new one. Also, will we ever be able to share videos with Facebook this way?
  • erlichson · 9 months ago
    videos are on the roadmap. thanks for the feedback.
  • Raphael Freeman · 9 months ago
    This is phantastic! I wish I knew about this before. My only question is why I can't do it from the phanfare app?
  • Andrew Erlichson · 9 months ago
    you can do it from the web version of our app (login at www.phanfare.com) but not from the downloadable mac and pc clients. we may add it if there is sufficient interest.
  • Heather (cameram0m) · 9 months ago
    I'm excited for video support to be added!

    I'd like to register my "interest" in seeing this added to the pc client. I strictly use the pc client for uploading and being able to add to facebook from here would negate me having to go into the web version to do it saving me time.

    Thanks!
