Less Than a Month To Go Before Google Breaks Hundreds of Thousands of Links All Over the Internet
Philip Greenspun: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).
