Comments on: Picasa2 vs. Flickr, apples and oranges http://www.roytanck.com/2007/04/16/picasa2-vs-flickr-apples-and-oranges/ Basically just a WordPress theme/plugin development playground Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:13:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Nikhil http://www.roytanck.com/2007/04/16/picasa2-vs-flickr-apples-and-oranges/#comment-2778 Nikhil Thu, 03 May 2007 16:16:10 +0000 http://www.roytanck.com/2007/04/16/picasa2-vs-flickr-apples-and-oranges/#comment-2778 Good, article. What won me over in picasa web albums is the multiple-albums organization, as well as freedom of arrangement. Those two were lacking in flickr and had made it such that all my visitors would only see the latest-20 images & leave. Plus, the 200-pics limit had caught me completely off guard. Picasa's interface is just what i need, and now with 500+pics and only 25% space occupied, I'm currently moving my pics form flickr to picasa. Now, i really hope the guys at google-picasa add the tagging feature to picasa web album, that will effectively seal the deal! Good, article.

This is unfortunate since Picasa probably has the best UI of the bunch! Note that you can create as many free Google accounts as you wish, and assign a photo album to each. Infinite storage! Off-site storage is the only way to go if you want to protect your data against fires or other catastrophes.
