Google just acquired Picasa

[Anthony Ng]

Anyone tried out the free download of Picasa 1.6 at Google's home page? My first impression is that it's neat (I LOVE neat things) and therefore much better than those offered by other portals (incl. Yahoo). And remember it's FREE!

More great work from google...love it, and the way it arranges it by folder and date per year is extremely efficient in finding photos..

Not exactly "programs" I guess, but like Gmail and the Toolbar ...

ah, ok get you now,,,, I use gmail too,, but I wouldn't advice using the toolbar its almost kind of sort of spyware...

if it's as slow and chunky as the google desktop search i'll probably pass... that was my worst download of the year.

and btw.. all downloaded toolbars are spyware... some are just less nefarious than others.. google would be one of the better ones

Well not exactly programs, but rather specific tools/services, i.e. gmail (& notifier), deskbar, desktop search, translate tool & Picasa photo organizer.
The toolbar I don't utilize since I use firefox.

Google Desktop is horrible, I agree it was one of my worst downloads as well...the Toolbar on the other hand has to be one of my best downloads
