Dear facebook.com,
Your photo management interface is inexcusably bad.
- In what universe does it make sense to “Edit Album Info” in order to move a photo to a different album?
- Why can’t you move a photo to an album unless it already exists?
- Why can’t you create an album without uploading photos?
- Why is your only option for creating an album without uploading photos buried on the last tab of some (but not all) edit album screens?
- Why does that “create album” actually just rename the album you were editing (despite the fact that you have to specifically ignore the rename option to get there?
Any one of these might be excusable but all of them together makes me want to stomp your interface in the throat. Is there no usability testing in facebook HQ? Do you not understand your top tasks? Do you need testers? Because I will donate the 45 minutes of my time that I wasted trying to move a photo from one album to another and tell you what’s wrong with your interface. Any time. You have all of my contact information.
Sincerely,
Me
