Less than a month to go before Google breaks links to Google+ Picasa albums
Google purchased Picasa, a super efficient photo editor that offered seamless integration with online publishing (e.g., you add a photo to an album on your desktop computer and it automatically gets pushed to the online version of the album). Now they’re going to waste millions of additional hours worldwide by breaking links to all of the Google+ albums that they had Picasa create. It was so easy to publish the photos via Picasa that I just linked to the photo album from the HTML page.
