DropBook Integrates Facebook With Your Desktop: Review & Giveaway

DropBook is a little more difficult to show off than most apps in part because of its deep integration with your desktop and menubar. It isn’t an app that traditionally sits in your Object Dock, rather, you get a translucent Facebook icon that sits in the lower left corner of your screen which you can drag pictures and favicons/URLs into to instantly share content to your wall. As content is dragged into the Facebook icon, a window appears that shows you the attachment or link to your content. If it’s a picture, you can send it to your album of choice including your profile pictures. On your Mac, a lot of content is bound to be bundled in iPhoto, and you can drag multiple selected photos for a multi-upload. You currently can’t add tags to photos, which might be a deal-breaker for those uploading lots of pictures.

iTunes integration is built right in, so if you want to share your favorite song you can simply click on the menubar icon. You can also share pics from your Mac’s built in camera if you and your friends want to pose for a quick picture, and you can easily log out at any time to let someone else log in.

The ability to quickly share content with DropBook is appealing if you’re a heavy Facebook user. The app costs $2.99 in the Mac App Store, and offers a way to quickly drag & drop content in your favorite social network. We wouldn’t want you to walk away from our recommendation, however, without having the opportunity to try it yourself and spread the word. We’re giving away five copies, and you can find all the details below.
