What frustrates me about Flickr is that it's a pain in the ass to click through someone's photos unless you do it as slideshow. I'll have to check out Picasa.

I have a kodak gallery - catch you have to order something once a year. last year I got some picture printed for gifts. I may do CD archives this year I also have stuff on yahoo to move.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just keep my mouse over the thumbnail of next picture of the set or of the whole stream and keep clicking. You can also page through bigger copies where you can see the title and maybe even a description.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I like Flickr. I did end up going pro, because I hit the limit of what I could do with the free account, but I think it's a reasonable expense for a software I use pretty considerably.
I do like Picasa, and I like the Windows software they offer. But flickr got to me first, I guess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm quite impressed by Picasa's upload, at least. It's miles better than Yahoo's. Galaxies better.

I use Picasa to manage the pictures on my hard drive. Aside from its reluctance to monitor anything in my Application Data directory tree, it's a godsend.

Mostly lurking...
My dad loves Picassa. I love flickr.
Yes. That's really all I have to add.

I may have to stay with Flickr because of the ease of sharing with friends who are on it. On the other hand, there's nothing to say that I can't just rotate in my latest pictures, and use Picasa for my big sets and total 'collection'. Hmmm.

I love Flickr, but I did have to shell out for a Pro account almost immediately because of the upload limitations.
Tried Picasa way back when, wasn't a fan. There was something wonky about how they wanted to organize things. Can't remember what it was off the top of my head now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I use Flickr because it's the first thing I tried. I'm easy. I find it's easeit to use something that works okay than spend a lot of effort trying to find the perfect thing, which may not even exist.
Question: I'm trying to install my old HP 5300C scanner to Window XP, and it's strongly cautioning me not to do so because it hasn't passed Windows Logo something blah. I really don't want to buy another scanner. Is this a serious consideration, or can I just install the damn thing?
