If you’re like me, you are probably accumulating a *lot* of pictures in Facebook.

Reorganizing pictures is a serious pain — you have to click a dropdown menu and select the album you want to move a picture to for each picture. There’s no “Select All” option.

I was able to whip up a little bit of javascript to help. Here’s how to use it:

1. Open up the ‘source’ photo album and click ‘Edit Photos’
   
2. Underneath the individual photos, you’ll see the ‘Move to:’ dropdown menu. Clicking this menu brings up a list of all your albums.
3. Imagine that they are numbered, like in the image below. The first album on the list is 1, etc etc.
   Determine the number of the album that you want to move your pictures to.

   

4. Copy the following code, but be sure to change the number ’1′ in  ’albumNum = 1;’ to the correct number.
   javascript:albumNum = 1;selects = document.getElementsByTagName(‘select’);for(i in selects){ selects[i].selectedIndex = albumNum;};return False;
5. Paste this code into the url bar while on the ‘Edit Album/Edit Photos’ page
6. After you paste, press enter and all the ‘Move to’ dropdown menus will change to the album you chose. Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose ‘Save Changes’. All set!

From time to time I must admit that, as hip as I think I am, I retreat into my corner of the net, refusing to acknowledge any new trends or technologies out there. It’s even more shameful that I consider myself a web entrepreneur, hell bent on bringing the world the next awesome web service.

Apparently I’ve been ignoring Facebook, and FOR SHAME! It’s great!

Why?

• No songs playing
• No seizure inducing backgrounds
• No autoplay videos
• Intelligent contextual prompts
• Consistent, fast loading css layout
• Small font
• Advertising is minimally invasive

That’s enough to get my vote.

Facebook, Blogger, MySpace, TypePad – how many times have we heard the importance of leveraging the viral potential of Apps and Widgets to attract an audience? Many, many times, to be sure.

There is good reason though. Widgets and mini-apps allow companies to distribute portable, stylish technology packages to whomever wants to use them, getting their name out there, increasing their website traffic statistics, and earning the trust of users from demographics and niches they probably wouldn’t reach on their own.

I’m looking into developing a few small widgets, just to get my feet wet, and discovered Widgetbox . This site is the first step for anyone interested in seeing the potential of widgets, for creative inspiration, or to download and add high quality widgets to their own blogs and social networking profiles
