   So, I'm playing with Google's* newest offering: Picasa web Albums. You
   can see mine [1]here. Itâs a pretty obvious move on Googleâs part;
   leverage their existing [2]Picasa offering into a compelling
   alternative to [3]Flickr. (Mine [4]here)...

   Right now, Picasa is still beta. And it shows. Basic features like
   Tags are simply non-existent. Their RSS options are primitive at best
   (you have to hunt for them; neither Firefox or IE7.0beta auto discover
   them). There seems to be no ability to change the name of a picture
   once itâs posted. The comments are also primitive...

   I see no reason right now to use this over Flickr. Iâd love for that
   to change, but until it does Iâm gonna give this a pass...

   Oh, and their static image URLs are odd. Lets call this a test:
