Facebook photo viewer and Search [Updated]

Facebook's all new photo viewer design has been rolled out to many users now. There is no longer a separate page for every image, the photo viewer opens in a lightbox over the page for the selected image. One major benefit from the facebook's perspective, for this lightbox feature is that, users will not 'loose their place' from now onwards. The 'like' and 'comment' buttons lie at the bottom left corner of the photo box and the comment box sits beneath the the photo. Overall this is a good and fast photoviewer, but we can't open images in a new tab in it.


To revert back to the old photo viewer just remove '&theatre' from the URL. 

The Facebook Search is what that has impressed us, it segregates the Instant results into different categories, ie, Pages, People, Groups, etc.




Innovation is what keeps facebook going..! And that is what makes it 'more than 500 million active users'!!!
