Facebook and Watermarks

OnTheBandwagon

I understand that images of 800px or less are not watermarked. But Facebook is becoming the world's photo album, its top resolution is 720. I dont mind if people want to take my images and upload to their facebook pages... but thats the EXACT situation where I want a watermark!!

It becomes free viral advertising... sure, if you like my pic of event or wedding and grab a smaller version you can post, but all your FB friends and group members will know my site.

Thoughts?

Upload them in full resolution. Smugmug will create smaller, watermarked versions. Medium size looks best on facebook in my experience, but I don't know if that's changed.

doh!! Thank you!

Truth is i am in the "Which service do I want to use stage" and have been testing different services, and I jumped on the watermark 800 statements.

Trying it now...
