increase storage (flickr is unlimited but bandwidth & resolution are limited) If it were not for those two (three) things I would not be using Picasa Web. Two things I love about Picasa (besides the fact it comes from Google where I've invested a lot of time & energy) are thatġ) I can assign faces to people who are NOT on Google (unlike Flickr, all faces must belong to Flickr members)Ģ) It integrates really well (not perfectly) with a desktop client (which is still the best way to manage large files like digital photos) Until Picasa Web Albums drops "Picasa" and "albums" from its name and becomes Google Photos, the service will be an online extension of a desktop software and will inherit Picasa's flaws and limitations. Picasa's albums aren't a good way to organize photos because they have limitations (the maximum number of albums has been recently increased to 10,000), you can't store the same photo in multiple albums and individual photos don't have privacy controls. Google Buzz is not the only service that adds unnecessary albums: Blogger creates albums to store the photos uploaded to your blogs. Picasa Web addressed this issue by grouping all the Buzz albums in a special gallery called "Photos from posts". For example, Google Buzz creates a new album every time you upload one or more photos. Unfortunately, Google creates many albums that clutter the interface. If you upload photos to Blogger, Google Buzz, Orkut or upload a background image for Google's homepage, your photos are stored in Picasa Web Albums. Picasa Web Albums is the central repository for all the photos uploaded to Google's services.
