Cats and Coupons

Over the past several years digital cameras have become less expensive and more accessible to consumers, even ones with a tight budget. When I first learned of Picasa and tried it years ago I wasn’t terribly impressed. At that time it didn’t do much more than find pictures on a user’s computer and allow them to be organized. Now, Picasa allows users to organize photos on their computer as well as edit them, print them and create movies, collages, slideshows and screensavers. Picasa has improved over the years and now that they’ve added Picasa Web Albums I think we’ll all be seeing a lot more of Picasa. Picasa Web Albums allows users to create online photo albums such as Flickr and is free to use. Currently users have a minimum of 1gb of storage available. Users can upload images to their own albums, download friend’s albums, caption and comment photos and share them with others. (I wonder how many people are sharing before and after acne cream photos and stuff like that.)
