Picasa Web Albums

[shuttertalk]

Hey all,

You may or may not have heard - Google has launched Picasa Web Albums, which basically is your personal online photo sharing site which you can upload to using Google's Picasa software. Yeah yeah, you say, there are heaps of other sites/software/galleries like that already, like flickr, or kodak's gallery. I personally like Picasa because it's a really fast and easy way to browse through your collection of images, and since I already use it, it's just a little step to let it do all the resizing and uploading for me, all from within the program. Plus, it's free, no restrictions in terms of

So, what's the catch, you wonder? Well Google gives you 250mb of free space, if you want more, you pay $25 for 6GB per year. The url to your gallery is pretty good too - just basically picasaweb.google.com/user/

Anyway, cnet has a review of it here:

Thats great. I have gmail too. The only thing for me is that I already have on-line albums. I wished I had organized things better especially with my pbase account because I'd really like to make changes such as resizing, and basic editing but most of the images are on separate disks. So I never get around to doing it.
