Two features that I love are the collage making option and the face recognition feature. The collages are simple to create (once you remember where the option is!) and are a great way to make visuals for presentations. Or just pretty collages of spring flowers. :)
The face recognition stuff is kind of amazing to me. It's so darned smart about picking up who's in your photos, even when someone's face has changed a lot over time. I had to laugh when it even picked out a face that was in a photo hanging on the wall in a photo that I'd taken in someone's living room!
Picasa has terrific options for organizing photos, adding tags to index them and editing tools. Naturally, being a Google tool, it has an option to upload photos to Blogger, which is how I posted the collage above. But even better, for us Flickr addicts, you can send photos to Flickr as well. This article explains how.
I also took another look at the online photo storage service also and scouted around to find the features that are similar to familiar Flickr features. I won't be switching my loyalties from Flickr though, I have too much time and energy invested in building a community of friends and colleagues there.
Nice pictures! Looks like spring.
