Import faces from Facebook to Outlook with Outsync

Yes, you read the title line correctly. Outsync is a small, simple application that imports photos, and only photos, of your contacts from your Facebook account into Outlook.

With Outsync, you can easily replace old photos in your Outlook contacts list with shiny new pictures from Facebook, or add pictures to those contacts who previously had no image. Those shiny new pictures are then synced to your Windows Mobile device via Exchange server or ActiveSync, and displayed every time you make a call (or anytime your contacts are used).

The download is tiny, and setup is flawless. Of course it would be nice if Outsync would copy information such as email addresses or phone numbers, but apparently that kind of activity might get you banned from Facebook. Though some would use Outsync for good, others would use it for evil: i.e., downloading everyone's email address in order to bury them under a spam avalanche.

OutSync is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Server 2003, and requires Outlook 2003 or 2007.
