What's going on with the facebook app? Hope someone works on this soon.

So I just got a comment on my blog about this, too, so I'm very interested...

*However*, there's a big problem: SmugMug doesn't *have* a Facebook app. So I'm not sure what's going on with it - because it doesn't exist. :(

That being said, we're certainly open to building one. If we were to build one, what would you want it to do?

I have no idea how feasible this is, but I would love to have tagging work.

Could people tag SmugMug photos just like they can tag themselves and their friends in the Facebook Albums?

Being able to buy prints from the Facebook app would be great too.

I've been using the "Big Smugmug" app for a long time - it still appears to be working.

There also appear to be apps called "My Photos from SmugMug", "My Smugmug Gallery" and "SmugFoto". Perhaps one of them has stopped working...

I'm not a super facebook fanatic and I'm still getting the hang of things but I see all my friends posting their images and I would like a simple way to choose from my smugmug albums what photos I want to see on there, whether that is through a special tag, or something on the facebook app side I don't really care. I would be nice if the tagging that you put on your smugmug apps would "transfer" over to the facebook tagging but it's not a feature I use a lot.

Like another user said, there are like 4 (not very good) smugmug apps and I have yet to figure out one that works at all. I realize they are not made by you guys but you're not being represented well, especially when I hear a lot of people talking about flickr's solid facebook app. Viva Smugmug!

With the way Facebook is growing, having a solid SmugMug Facebook app. would be brilliant marketing for smugmug as well. Currently Flickr is the best integrated - with the code gurus that SM has it shouldn't be hard to make something competitive. ;)

I'll pile on this request. I'm not huge into Facebook but a lot of people I know are, and are less likely to click through to my Smugmug site from my profile than they are to look at pics within Facebook. I'm loathe to put the pictures both places, so having a portal from one to the other would be ideal.

Agree completely with those hoping for a conduit between smugmug and Facebook.

I am ready for a facebook app from smugmug! I've stopped posting photos on facebook (I used to use it as a blog of sorts for all my friends) It would be great for them to know that I actually am still taking pictures!

Make is happen!

I completely concur. I've been using My Smugmug Photos app on Facebook, but it seems to not allow me to update it. All that app does is display 4 galleries in the facebook profile, which when clicked link directly to the smugmug gallery. That would be fine. Another option would be that the photos would appear in Facebook. Not sure which is better, but more flexible and more stable are hugely important for this to be a success.

I can't imagine why SM wouldn't want to jump on this. It would be very much worth the effort, I believe.

Thanks!!
