Picasa Web Albums
Sunday, April 1st, 2007
Well, that’s it. I have deleted my Flickr account for good. Decided to stick with Google and their Picasa Web service. For one I kept forgetting my user name and password for Flickr and most importantly it’s owned by Yahoo!, so there was always a theological question mark over my membership.
Picasa Web is much easier for a number of reasons. First is the Google Picasa application itself, it’s fantastic for organising photographs and images on your PC. Second was the news that Picasa Web had increased my web space from 250MB to 1GB and counting (á la Gmail). Another recent addition is the ability to tag images in a similar way to Flickr.
The final reason was that my Google sign-on is uniform across many different services Email, Blogging, Docs and Spreadsheets, Co-Op Searches, Calendar, Messaging, Domain Services, Groups, webmaster tools etc. Saves me having to remember too many user names and passwords!
