Pinterest is the new trend in town. Much like Twitter, it’s Pinterest’s simplicity that arguably made it mass appeal. Popular apps like this one have some positive (and some negative) effects. friends list seems to be on the positive side.
Friendsheet is a photo viewer for Facebook. You can call it a “mashup” of Facebook and Pinterest, as it takes over the latter’s layout to display photos from your public Facebook news feed. But the similarity is only in the visual nature of Friendsheet. The photo viewer doesn’t borrow any mechanics from Pinterest, like pinning photos to picture boards.
I wish Facebook had thought of that themselves because the grid layout provides a much better viewing and viewing experience. Imagine you have a news feed stream with graphical content. Friendsheet makes it much easier to browse them. It’s definitely more aesthetic than the standard Facebook lightbox.
