Facebook makes it easier to publish children's photos

Not so long ago the social network launched a feature that allows parents and other family members can share baby pictures more comfortable and safe. Learn what Scrapbook and how to use it.

Recently I talked about Layfhaker social experimentConducted by a Dutch journalist and designer, and discussed, what is fraught with posting pictures of children on the Web.

Sending pictures of their children in the social sphere, we actually renounce the natural right to privacy. Nevertheless, 65% of users published and will publish photos of their loved ones and children. First, the modern pace of life does not allow to meet frequently with relatives. Social networks make it possible not to lose the thread of empathy and participate in each other's lives. Secondly, the photo in the social sphere, many used as cloud storage, where you can collect a chronicle Lo baby was just born, here he makes the first steps, but learning to ride a bike.

Proceeding from this, Facebook decided to make a posting baby pictures more comfortable and private and has created Scrapbook feature.

What is Scrapbook?

Scrapbook It allows parents to create a child's overall album, where it will be stored images. Family members and friends can subscribe to updates of this album, and the parents will be able to restrict access to it to other users using the privacy settings. According to product manager Dan Barack Facebook (Dan Barak), it will save parents from the "mark the" one another on the published photo of the child, so that they are visible in their chronicles.

Pros Scrapbook:

• Co-owner of the album is your partner, which is marked in the column "Relationship Status" (meets... Engaged to..., married to ...).
• You and your partner come up with a tag, which will be merged photographs of your child and that they will fall into the album. This can be the name or the affectionate nickname of your baby.
• You or your partner decide which pictures to note the tag. No one except you will not be able to add a mark at these pictures.
• As already mentioned, you can share the album for those for whom you see fit.
