Moment Simplifies Posting Photos and Status Updates to Facebook

Moment Simplifies Posting Photos and Status Updates to Facebook

OS X: Moment lives in your Mac's menu bar and provides a stupidly simple method of checking Facebook status updates and posting your own. It's also one of the best ways we've seen to upload your photos.

When you click Moment in your menu bar, you get notifications from Facebook. Choosing one takes you to its page so you can reply, like, or share it. You can also post your own updates quickly from the app. While convenient, this doesn't add anything we haven't seen before. How Moment handles photo uploads, however, sets it apart. You can add a photo to any status update easily by dragging it to the menu bar. If you drag several photos, however, you get album creation tools. I've used a ton of Facebook photo uploading apps and many of them failed to operate as designed or provided few options (like things as simple as creating and album). Many uploaded albums I couldn't even edit afterwards. Moment, on the other hand, handles this all through in an instant without taking up space on your desktop.

If you want a quick way to interact with Facebook and only visit the site when necessary, Moment will get the job done. Although $4 is a bit pricey for a menubar app, alternatives just don't work as well. Hopefully we'll see a price reduction in the future, but if you like what Moment can do it's a small price to pay.
