I was talking this morning to my boss about iPhone app development, and some cool ideas emerged. One of the ideas I had was a batch/bulk uploader for facebook photos strait from the iPhone, as opposed to one by one uploading.

It appears that this app already exists, and is called iLoader. It cost’s £1.19 and is pretty awesome. There is also a lite version of the app, but I went strait in with the pro version.

You log into facebook, select the photos or videos, then select a folder to upload to (better than the automatic mobile upload folder that facebook creates) and then they all upload simultaneously, showing upload speed and completed percent.

Never spend hours uploading photo after photo using the facebook app again! It’s just helped me reach my second mobile uploads folder on Facebook!

So, there are lots of facebook applications out there that claim to download all your photos. However most end up with credit limits or only downloading a maximum number of photos.

There is a relatively new release is a small piece of software. You can find it over at http://code.google.com/p/photograbber/. It not only allows you do download all your tagged photos, but also any of your friends. It’s brilliant for downloading all the tagged photos of yourself, but not so great for downloading individual albums.

For that, I’d use FacePad, a firefox plugin that allows you to right-click on albums and download them all. It’s important to note that facePad will only download the first 20 photos unless you have set the default language to that of your facebook by going to tools > options > addons.

Either way, try it out!
