[Web4lib] Picasa?

[Rachel Wente-Chaney]

Hi Patty,

I use both almost daily. And both have their strengths (the Flickr  
community is far more robust than Picasa's and the user interface is  
better; but, with the Picasa download, you can edit, manage, and post  
within the same window).

As far as upload/bandwidth/server issues.... Flickr's free account  
allows 100MB upload bandwidth per calendar month. Pro is unlimited.  
Picasa provides 1GB of server space.

So, it may depend on your traffic timeline? Do you need to upload all  
of the pics this month?

(Opinion: Looking long term, I'd probably choose a Flickr Pro account  
- around $25 annually.)

Cheers,
Rachel
