It aint the same at all from where I'm looking.
I found it easier cos on facebook you can choose an album from the entire gallery, click on it and then when you click on an individual photo it opens up a really big clear version. And if, as BossMom says peeps have tagged themselves, their names are just there underneath.
That is tons easier than clicking on the event, then clicking on photos, then having to open the tagged tag icon to get a slightly larger piccy with names on.
...but maybe that's just old fuddy duddy me and my steam powered laptop
