Compare that to Flickr who defaults to showing the image file name as the title not nice.Ī nice addition is the slideshow view. Another thing I like, compared to Flickr, is that if you don’t give an image a caption, no text is shown. Way more user-friendly than Flickr’s small thumbnails where the current one also mysteriously disappears. This is also accompanied by arrows pointing left and right. One more great, and given, feature is that in a photos separate page, you can navigate to the previous or next picture with your left and right arrow keys on your keyboard.
Another upside of this is that you directly in the overview can see any eventual caption for the images. Naturally, the preference you choose in one gallery is then kept in the other galleries as well. You can make them small to get a good overview, medium, or large if you want to look at all the pictures in the same page, hence eliminating the need to go into each photo’s page to be able to view it. One of the things I really like is the possibility as an end user to, in the gallery overview, choose in what size you want to view the thumbnail images. All you need to start is a Google Account, and you here’s my albums if you want to test drive the service. While it isn’t as sophisticated as Flickr, its simplicity and some of the features are definitely better than Flickr’s.

Personally, I think it’s a shame that it isn’t available for Mac OS X as well, since iPhoto is sub-par (more about that and Mac in general in My MacBook Pro – first-time Mac owner).ĭuring June this year they took the natural next step and released Picasa Web Albums: online photo sharing.

Well, as we all know, time flies but now I’m ready to tell you about a service that I believe have a serious potential to become a Flickr contender. When I wrote my post about the Flickr photo service, I promised that I’d review another one within the next week or so.
