I have been using Google's Picasa web albums for quite a while now, and loved the Picasa program for Linux. But, what about now that I am on a Mac? Well, while Picasa itself isnt available for OS X (YET!) there is one nugget of Google-ie-Goodness - an iPhoto plugin to upload to Picasa Web Albums! While not as elegant as a full featured iPhoto publish to .MAC, I am sure, it does provide a nice way to easily get your photo's from iPhoto to your Picasa albums, with all the pertinent tagging info along for the ride. It can export your photos to a new album, or to an existing one as well.
So, for all you Google-heads out there thinking of going Mac, here is one more reason to go ahead and take the leap. You wont lose your ability to maintain your Picasa albums at all, and iPhoto is every bit as good as Picasa. In fact they have alot of things in common. (Remember my first post, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?) A lot of things make me think Picasa was modeled after iPhoto, or vice versa.
More on that later...
