Last night we pushed out an update that adds new features to Facebook publishing.

Name your Facebook album from Photosleeve
Instead of making you navigate over to Facebook to name your album, you can now name it right on Photosleeve. After you click on the “Publish to Facebook” icon, just enter a title for your new album.

Automatic creation of multiple Facebook albums
You can now upload more than 60 photos to Facebook. Since Facebook limits the number of photos you can have in an album to 60 (that’s why we had the previous limit), we create several albums and give them appropriate names, for example, “My New Album - Part 2.” Many of our friends create multiple albums manually, so this new feature should make it much easier to publish a lot of photos to Facebook.

Also, we’ve added a few features to the dragbar to make large Facebook exports possible. You can now add all photo pages or individual photo pages. Since it’s easier to add a lot of photos now, we’ve increased the capacity of the dragbar to 1000 photos.

If you’re using the beta, give these new features a spin; upload a bunch of photos to Facebook and let us know what you think.

Update: We’ve run into an interesting Internet Explorer javascript cookie limit. For now we’ve had to change the limit for Internet Explorer 6 and 7 to 100 photos and are looking into possible solutions.

This first post kicks off the Photosleeve blog. We’ll use the blog to keep you up to date on what we’re doing to make Photosleeve a simple and fast place to share photos.

This week we gave the first handful of beta users access to an early version of the site. Right now they’re off adding and sharing photos. As they find bugs and give feedback, we are making changes and pushing out new versions of the site.

In case you’re wondering, here is a little more info about Photosleeve, freshly copied from our current home page. :)

• Zero-click upload. Plug in your camera and we can automatically upload your photos. Clicking is strictly optional.
• Drag-and-drop interface. Use drag-and-drop to perform a variety of actions like sending email or publishing to Facebook. More to come.
• Less waiting. We upload smaller copies of your photos first, so there’s less waiting between plugging in your camera and sharing with your friends and family.
• No more lost photos. We save the original photos from your digital camera, preserving all the details for when you need them.

Sound cool? If you want to be an early beta user, head over to our invitation page and add your email. As we roll out the service to a wider audience, we’ll be pulling emails directly from that list.

Lots more on the way…
