FW Editor: Traveling is a huge passion of yours. Can you tell us more about this passion?
Justin Klein: Well...I've been traveling with my family ever since I was a child, so I guess you could say I "got the bug" at quite a young age. To me there's just something unbeatable about experiencing the different cultures, people, nature, food, sights, and sounds the world has to offer. And since my work only requires that I have a laptop and the Internet...I see no reason to limit myself to just one place? :)
FW Editor: Which is the most beautiful place you had ever visited? Is traveling a source of inspiration when it comes about software development?
Justin Klein: It's pretty hard to choose just one place as the *most* beautiful, because different spots can be beautiful in such different ways. Cherry blossoms in Japan would have to be right at the top of my list, though :)
As far as software development: nope. Although I do them simultaneously, my travels and my work are pretty much separate.
FW Editor: Facebook is not the only huge socialization network. Why have you decided to release a Facebook application and not a Twitter one (for example)?
Justin Klein: Because I don't use Twitter, and all of my plugins were initially written for personal use. Also, it seems like no matter where I go in the world *everyone* is on Facebook - something that isn't true for any one other social networking site, at least not at the moment.
FW Editor: How many different images and photos can be added to a Facebook Photo Fetcher album? Is there any limit for that?
Justin Klein: Just whatever limit Facebook places on the original album you're fetching (it used to be 60, I think it's 200 now).
FW Editor: It is possible to add images from people who are not connected to your account in any way?
Justin Klein: Actually, I'm not so sure about this anymore. It used to be possible, but over the course of this year they seem to've tightened up their security restrictions with regards to the photo API. I think you can only get photos from friends and (maybe) friends-of-friends now.
FW Editor: Can you tell us more about the Lightbox support? Will this conflict with Lightbox 2 plug-in?
Justin Klein: To provide an easy initial setup, the plugin ships with a copy of the jquery-lightbox script, though you can choose to use any other lightbox implementation you like (via another Wordpress plugin or otherwise - there are loads of them out there, each with its own unique flavor).
