For the very first time i have seen a google update in progress… i was just uploading my albums from my pc to picasa webalbums through picasa2 software… and it was a matter of just one refresh and Magic!!! picasa web album just changed its looks… i was surprised my first thought was maybe because i have used much of the storage space its some kindof upgradation to increase space but no i was totally wrong…

It was a Picasa web album update… So what’s new:-

• New and more clean looks…
• new tab bar for my photos, Favorites and Explore
• Face tag feature, yes Picasa now identifies faces and allows you to tag them and also offers lots of settings in case you want to hide tags in public album or in certain specific albums.{Quite effective but a bit slow}
• Linked Galleries now displayed on the sidebar.
• Discover photos from around the world on the Explore page.
• Upload photos by email.
• Add Creative Commons licensing to your photos
• Increase or decrease the size of thumbnails when you open an album.

But unfortunately now change in storage space, You still have to purchase additional space.

If you find any more changes do comment…

Much as we like sharing photos online, we know that sharing photos with the friend who’s right next to you is even better. That’s why we launched a high-end mobile version of Picasa Web Albums for the iPhone back in December, followed by a version for Windows Mobile Pro in April. Both platforms make it easy to carry your entire photo collection in your pocket.

Today, we’re happy to say that our high-end mobile experience now includes the tens of millions of people around the world using S60 3rd Edition phones — a panoply of devices that includes all the latest smartphones from Nokia. Here’s what our S60 experience looks like:

Of course, sharing photos around the world is easier when you speak the local language, so we’re equally proud to announce support for 36 new languages in our mobile interface. (We cheated just a bit: You may notice we’ve judiciously replaced some text buttons with universal icons.)

We also took this opportunity to refresh and improve our iPhone and Windows Mobile support. Starting today, iPhone users can try our new zoom feature — just tap the magnifying glass icon. This loads a higher-resolution page, where you can use those wonderful finger gestures for zooming and panning, like so:
