Picasa: My online photo storage solution

 Right. So after much looking around, I have settled on my choice for the online photo repository for my photos. 

It was a close battle between Flickr and Picasa with of course the option of hosting all the work here itself. But the hosting would have been too costly. And Flickr is getting a little too snobbish (only 3 sets still?).

So Picasa it is. And the clincher was the recently launched Picasa for Mac Desktop Application.

The syncing between the desktop and online spaces is brilliantly seamless. And it syncs. So any edits also get updates. Plus, I can create albums from the desktop app itself and embed photos (like the one here). To be fair, Flickr Uploadr also allowed these, but then it was much slower and not nearly as elaborate at Picasa for Mac.

Add to this the fact that most people I know have a Google ID handy more than a Yahoo! one (tsk), it made more sense to have protected photos on a Google site.

So chalk one more for Google. And this is proof that all is indeed not well with Flickr.

    I used to be contented with Photobucket and Imageshack before, but since I've read a wonderful article about Picasa like this one, I tried it out and used it as my main photo repository once I got used to its easy interface and seamless features.

    Picasa is way better than Flickr, well with Picasa you store more photos you want without worrying too much of your profile page. Storing your photos online is good idea but having a printed copy is much better
