How to View Facebook Photos, Pinterest Style
Update: Friendsheet is no longer in service.
Imagine if you can categorize your Facebook feed to have a photo-only section and change the display setting the preference to mimic the Pinterest layout, browsing photos on Facebook will be an eye-catching and highly addictive experience. Not only will it make commenting and ‘liking’ easier, but it will also be easier to keep track of your friend’s events and interact with them.
But Facebook is strict with its layout and feed aggregation, I hear you say. There is no way to separate photo content from your feed, you add. Well, we have found a great way to make browsing photos on Facebook more interesting by using Friendsheet. Friendsheet is a web application that will call every photo on your Facebook, which includes photos from your photo album as well as your friends, and display them in a Pinterest-style layout.
