Sync FaceBook profile pictures and birthdays to your Mac address book
There are tons of buggy FaceBook sync applications out there. AddressBookSync isn’t one of them. It promises to do two things:
- Sync your Facebook friends’ profile pics with the Mac Address Book.
- Sync your Facebook friends’ birthdays.
It will not, unfortunately, sync contact information. Apparently, this is not allowed by Facebook at this time. Oh well.
After a quick download from the app’s site, I am happy to say it works flawlessly and quickly. You’ll need to give it permission to access your Facebook account, but after that, you’ll get a lovely window popup showing you the current profile pics and the ones that it will be updating. You’re also given the option of keeping whichever profile pics you have.
For functionality, ease of use and general all-around helpfulness this application deserves 5 stars . For the features I’d really like (contact information syncing) but which Facebook prevents, I guess we’ll have to wait.
