Google Acquires Picasa, Improves Blogging Tools

clandestine writes "It appears that our lovable search engine has again expanded its horizons - the internet wasn't enough; now you can search and organize your own pictures. I don't know about you, but I use Google for nearly everything; heck, I found links about their acquisition of Picasa through Google News! Any slashdotters going to benefit from this tech, or already do? And yes, the addition of Picasa to their arsenal is a couple of days old, but they just started linking them on the homepage today."

    Thanks for the link to Google in the article summary. We would have never found it otherwise. Thank you so so so much.

  2. IE required? by ritRadical · · Score: -1, Redundant

    From Picasa's system requirements:
    If at any time you get an "unable to authenticate" error, you should upgrade to IE 6.0.

    Does this mean that Google and Microsoft are now somehow tied together?
