Google has added the ability to embed a flash slideshow of any of your Picasa Web Albums with just a couple clicks.
It’s not the fanciest thing I’ve ever seen, but if you’re looking for a quick flash slideshow of some images with built-in controls and captions (if you want them), then check it out. One thing I wish it would do is loop the slideshow…as of right now, it just ends. Booooring.

Google has done it again. They have now quadrupled their storage capacity for Picasa Web Albums. (see the Official Google Blog)
I have been trying Picasa Web Albums out for a while now, and I like it, but I wasn’t sold on it because I didn’t know if I wanted to put all of my eggs in one basket with only 250 MB (while that’s still quite a bit, it’s not gargantuan or anything). Now that they’re up to 1 GB (that’s over 4,000 standard resolution pictures), I’m a little more intrigued. I think I’ll start putting a lot more up there.
If you’ve used Picasa before, which I HIGHLY recommend, then it’s dirt simple to get your pics online. And Picasa is the best program I’ve come across to keep your digital pictures organized in the easiest way possible.
Props to Google for doing it again.
