A little under two months ago we posted a lundry list of features we wanted to implement for a February Release of 23. And with more than five hours to spare, those features are now available on 23, The Large Edition.
Larger photos: The most notable new feature is the photo page which now sports more photo and less navigation. Large is great when you’re shooting hearts, beaches, fields, cars, boats, laundry, containers, selforganization, pizzas, or flowers.
Microblogging: 23 now connects either directly to Twitter or to any other microblogging service such as Jaiku, Friendfeed and Facebook through Ping.fm. We’ll be writing more about all the microblogging options over the next few days.
Even better album collections: We’ve added more cool stuff to the feature we introduced back in January. Most importantly you can now control the ordering of collections.
On a sadder note: We didn’t get password protected albums into this round of releases. That’ll wait for the next set of changes which we’ll also be writing about soon. Even without this there’s plenty of great new stuff to play with on 23…

Love the default large size — 23 is all about the photos and the sharing.
Already hooked up Twitter.
Nice.

I *love* the twitter integration. Thanx :-)

I’m missing the feature for clicking on a photo to get it larger in the new design. Why was this removed? When I want to see the original size of a photo there is no longer a simple way to do that. :(

@janfri
it’s under “more sizes for sharing”, but we should do something that feels more natural.
any ideas, click on photo goes to “more sizes for sharing” page.

@Thomas: Thanks for replay. I like the old behavior: click on the large size and get the original size. I see you have made it work again. :)
Go to “more sizes for sharing” when clicking on a photo don’t feel natural for me. ;)
Maybe it should be customizable by the user, what behavior he/she wants, when clicking on a photo?

too bad it didn’t work out with the password-protected folders, I can’t wait for the next update.
I support janfri proposition (one click on the photo).
And as I said in the forum, I think that the license informations/copyright text belongs on the photo page and not only on the “meta” page, hidden under the link (more about this photo).
And in my opinion also the block

belongs on the photo page.
