Only thing I dont like is it posts a really small photo and if you try and click on it, it brings the viewer to your gallery. This can be good and bad. Most folks will only click on one of the images once or twice before they'll skip it because they dont want to be drawn away from the main page of Facebook.

Maybe I'm just doing it wrong, because I too upload 90% of my images to both places, so this would save me lots of time!

Hmm..haven't tried it out yet as I haven't uploaded any pictures since they came out with the new feature. I'll test it out with a few pictures this week and see what happens. I definitely see that being good and bad if that's the case.

An interesting read...

Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:

For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
When you use an application, your content and information is shared with the application. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information. (To learn more about Platform, read our Privacy Policy and Platform Page.)
When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Facebook, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).

Scary. Not terribly unreasonable, but scary nonetheless. I don't do Facebook. I keep my content on my own website (Smug), but what happens if someone else links one of my photos into a Facebook page or app?

I'm at that stage that if I was to worry about "What If Someone Steals My Images?" I probably wouldnt take photos.

Personally, I've gotten more jobs since I've started posting my images on Facebook than any other type of marketing I've ever done. I simply put a watermark on them, and if someone wants to steal the image, they'll figure out a way no matter what I do to them.

I can go steal your images off of your Smugmug account just as easy, even with the Right-Click protected function enabled.

The only thing that makes me mad about all of this is seeing one of my images that has been stolen, then printed out and it looks horrendous because of how small I sized it to be uploaded on Facebook or somewhere else on the web.
