Google announces Picasa for Mac
Finally, I’ve caught up with my PC friends who have been using Picasa for years to share pictures online. Google just announced a Mac Beta version. It’s obviously intended for those who don’t already have a mobileme account, formerly a “dot” Mac account. It integrates well with iPhoto. A must have in the digital age. You can obtain Picasa 3 here.
I have to admit I am pretty impressed by the features that are packed in Picasa. It searched my hard drive in seconds to find my pictures. It automatically preserves the iPhoto library. It allows you to find duplicates across the drive. It has a simple to use, one button upload to the Web. It can export and resize pictures on the fly. It can email pictures at the click of a button. It can post pictures into your Blogger account. It can do a lot more, not bad for a famous Google “Beta”.
What will future digital archeologists do with the millions of pictures taken everywhere in the world at every instant? They will share their findings in Picasa no doubt.
