Facebook's Rolling Out High-Resolution Photo Sharing

As a big fan of photo-sharing site Flickr, one of the most frustrating things about the popularity of photo sharing on social-networking site Facebook has always been the relatively terrible quality of Facebook's highly compressed photos. Starting today, that's changing.

Over the next few weeks, Facebook will be rolling out support for high-res pictures for free to every user.

They're also updating their photo viewer with a new lightbox interface (think Flickr's new
galleries —dark background with the image popping out in the forefront). Chances are you're not seeing any of the updates in your
account yet, but the rollout starts today, so if you aren't, you can expect it in the near future.
