And you're going to pay just for that? You know you can get plugins for that for free in the '08 version. Same with Picasa, which is also free. - Jesse Stay
Like I said on Twitter, plugins don't offer seamless Faces ('09 feature) and Facebook people tagging. That's a killer feature. Of course there are other features that would be beneficial - Bwana
I'm still debating on whether to upgrade. I might just go ahead and push the button. - Spencer
I can use several of the audio and editing features in iMovie... that may be the straw... - Bwana
Me too, Bwana. The reason I don’t use iPhoto that much is because I don’t want to be locked into MobileMe’s online galleries. The fact that I can now natively sync with Facebook and Flickr is a huge pro. - Guillermo Esteves
Picasaweb has been doing auto-facial tagging for awhile now. Anyone know if Picasa for Mac supports this? - Jesse Stay
I refuse to use Picasa for Mac. The Google overlords force me to scan my HD for photos. Fail. - Bwana
With apple your photos are already scanned ;) - Jesse Stay
Oh don't get me started on Google privacy :) - Bwana
Me too! I will definitely get iLife '09 just for iPhoto '09. I guess my decision to stick with Flickr rather than jumping ship to Smugmug at the last renewal was the right one. - Vinko
iLife 09 is on my must buy shopping list. The geotagging and faces look to save a lot of time. - Jason Kaneshiro
u can achieve Facebook + flickr support also with the new and free google picasa for mac + custom buttons, just google for it - natadd

Privacy is an illusion. *especially* on Apple :) - Jesse Stay
