Flickpad - Facebook photos on the iPad

Facebook is awesome, and I love browsing photos from all my friends, but I must say that I find it cumbersome.  I often miss new photos that have been posted because I don’t happen to check Facebook soon enough after photos were posted and they got lost in the news feed.  Also, clicking through albums often leaves me with a browser history that makes using the back button in the browser pretty much useless.

When the iPad was first announced, I saw a huge opportunity to improve the way people view Facebook photos.  The iPad by it’s very nature, encourages interaction and enjoyment of photos.  The iPad received a lot of negative press early on because of what it was not, a laptop replacement.  To me, the iPad has always been meant to primarily sit on a coffee table and take the place of magazines, newpapers, tv guides, remote controls, internet browsers, handheld games, game consoles, and more.  

It is with that use in mind that we designed Flickpad.  While having your morning coffee or vegging out after work, you can quickly catch up with all the photos your friends have been posting on Facebook.  It really is addictive and fun to use.
