FamSpam.com/Facebox - A Lightbox for Facebook

Facebox, despite its name, is not a new social networking site. It’s actually a new lightbox image display created for Facebook. The folks at Facebox found the image display on Facebook needed some updating. One of the main uses for Facebook is, afterall, to post and display photos and images. So why not make the displays prettier? Facebox uses jQuery. It’s a downloadable application. Use the lightbox to display divs or entire remote pages as well as images. Once installed, images will display as a pop up. This makes it extremely handy to use when you want to use it for a new page. It keeps things a lot neater and you can reuse it. Facebox is free to use too. Just download the tarball.

“Facebox is a jQuery-based, Facebook-style lightbox which can display images, divs, or entire remote pages.

It's simple to use and easy on the eyes. Download the tarball, view the examples, then start enjoying the curves.”

Facebox is a nifty tool that allows you to display images in clean, easy on the eyes manner. It’s not too hard to use and requires minimal downloads.

As easy as Facebox seems, will users who don’t want to bother with code be attracted to Facebox? Will Facebox take the Facebook community by storm or will it be flop?
