Facebook in the "cloud"?

Following the footsteps of Google+, Facebook now gives mobile users the option to auto-sync all the photos they take on their phones, storing them in a private folder; hence making it a cloud storage. You can choose whether to automatically upload photos whether you are on 3G or Wi-Fi only, again exactly like Google+ enabled their users to do a while ago.

What this means for Facebook, is that users will more easily publish photos since they don't need to waste time waiting for photos to upload. You just pick which ones to publish from the auto-synced photos in your private folder. Not to mention Facebook still has access to your geo-location and hence being able to better target local, more relevant ads for you...

I believe moves like these will enable Facebook to "milk" more and more out of their biggest resources - photos!
