After experiencing Google Wave and giving it a whirl I realized I would have more fun if I added people that shared common interests amongst Google Friends. I’ve added a Google Friend Connect pod on my blog so peeps can join me or create a new profile as a Google Friend. Become my friend on the Google Friend Connect pod (right) if you think we share common interests on Google Friend Connect. ;-)

Over and out!

 

Well there are no new features or anything to oogle over unless you already have an existing account with Google Picasa. Picasa just upgraded the space you can get online so now instead of 40gigs for 75$ per year you can get 200gigs for 50$. Best starter deal I’ve seen is for 5$ you can get 20 gigs of space for photos.

The Rant:
In many ways I prefer Picasa Web Albums over Flickr or any other photo sharing site. I look for usability and speed. What the hell is Flickr thinking with that wacked out UI?! I showed a couple albums I had on Flickr to some friends and they couldnt figure out how to go next or back, hehe whatever! Google Picasa is the shizznit and I’ll leave it at that.

Thank you Picasa for the upgrade!

 

I’m enjoying the ability to search Creative Commons based images using Google’s image search. Even though the images are under the license I’d still check with the artist/photographer about permissions. Keep an eye on the google blog for more updates in the future!
