Unfortunately, Picasa 3 is only available for English (U.S.) users at this time, but it's pretty cool stuff and worth checking out! You can try out the new version at http://picasa.google.com/intl/en/.
Picasa Web also launched it's new version which includes several key new features:
- Facial recognition aka 'name tags.' You can easily tag the people in your photos with a name and create custom slide shows containing those people. Want to find all the pictures of your grandma and share that slide show with her on her birthday? Sure no problem! Just opt into the name tag feature on the settings page, tag all the photos with grandma in it and just make sure those name tags are public (can be changed from settings page as well as on individual album level). This is available in English only right now.
- Creative commons
- E-mail upload, now you can upload photos from your mobile device or even set up forwarding filters in Gmail so all the photo attachment you receive automatically gets uploaded to Picasa Web.
- Explore page, which lets you browse the wonderful community within Picasa web from looking at featured photos, popular tags, recently uploaded public photos from around the world as well as play a quick game of guessing where the photos were taken ('Where in the World').
Come check out all the new features!
