Google Introduces Picasa Web Albums

If you may have followed some of my posts in this blog, you should have noticed that the Digital Imaging is booming on the web. This is good for fotografers but also for internet marketers.

Google is trying to get one important piece of the Growing Digital Imaging Cake, following basically what Photomax had started successfully.

Now a new product has been released: Picasa Webalbums (see ScreenShot)


The idea is the same as with Photomax: the growing number of digital images demands additional functionality to organize and share them. Gazillions of pictures are being sent via e-mail and displayed on the web.

Google was very smart by enhancing Picasa in order to allow the software to build Photo Web Albums autoamtically. The service is only a "beta tests" and it seems that only GMAIL users are allow to apply for that.

Currently, Google gives the user 250 MB for free (little compared with the 5GB from Photomax). However the interesting point is the seamless integration between Digital Camera -> Software (Picasa) and Photo Web (Google Webalbums)

How could you participate on this trend?

1) Apply for an Google AdSense Account apply for adsense

2) Distribute free copies of Googles Picasa Software, you may earn up to 1$ per copy
