I really like Picasa 2
Being a Flickr snob, I had never bothered trying any other photo services or software. I just figured that I had Flickr, so what more could I need?
Well, as with many things in life, I didn't fully understand what Picasa is all about. So, on a friend's advice, I downloaded Picasa 2 this morning. Damn, it's cool! I'm really starting to think those folks at Google really are as smart as everyone says they are.
Although I haven't played with all of the features yet, I love having the ability to organize my photos. We've taken over 6GB of photos in just over a year (that's what having 3 kids will do for you) and they're currently just arranged in folders by the date they were downloaded to the PC.
Picasa has freed us from the crash-happy Kodak EasyShare software we had been using for the past year. That makes me very happy.
So get Picasa 2. It's free.
