Can you list a couple of the worst parts about Facebook's photo service?

I'm not a Facebook user, but I do know that photos are one of the main reasons why people use (love, are addicted to, etc) it.

Maybe even compare your improved solutions to the poor features of Facebook's service. Thanks, and good luck!

It's vertically integrated to be social. As such, the following are not considered important:

> Original photo size (additionally, optional sizes)

> EXIF data

> Compression

> Sharing as a link, embed, BBCode, etc. -- anything outside of Facebook can be done by copying image URL, but that URL can change without a moment's notice.

It's designed for people who take snapshots, not for photographers or artists.

Yea, that's a pretty good synopsis :).
