Google launched the new Picasa today, pairing it with Web Albums, creating a fusion that’s named Picasa Web Albums. Think Flickr, but Googlr.

Google people also announced folder display fixes, ability to save your edited photo and to undo your edits, search by colour (a personal favourite), screensaver, application UI customization and lots more. And of course, they linked Picasa with Google Earth.

Is anyone else bothered about the fact that Google Earth represents the current situation at the globe so accurately? Somewhere, in the back of my mind, this thing rings bells.

All in all, try the new Picasa, if you haven’t already. It’s a sweet piece of software, free, beautiful, and damn fast too. It recently became my standard photo viewer.

I’m uploading some photos later, to see how it comes. Stand by.

EDIT: Fidgeted with the program, I have to say it’s really smooth. Uploaded my first album, check it. It’s not Flickr, and its limit is 250MB, but it’s a good try. I’ll upload the same photos to Flickr, sometime tomorrow.
