Firefox usually works, but not always. Love the Smugmug features, but if my friends can't view my photos there's really no point in continuing down the SM path.

I have Smugmug and Picasaweb. I would easily be prepared to pay the double of Smugmug price to get: The simplicity , basicness , navigation speed of Picasaweb and unlimited storage of Smugmug. The open API so that I can do my own scripting to Smugmug is very useful to me but probably not directly to the average user. (sm_tool.py python which enable me to mirror two Picasa album sets on one Smugmug account automatically). I agree with most of the above. I have Smugmug and Picasaweb.

I love smugmug for it's rich feature set and not going anywhere. I think is what smugmug needs is a "simple" mode that is completely uncluttered with super fast image presentation. my thoughts are that the google web albums provide a simple and smooth interface that is more intuitive than smugmug.

This release is a Roxio Easy Media Creator 8 killer - at least the Drag-to-Disc feature of that version of Roxio is ruined after installing this Picasa beta. I wrote Google and while at first they disavowed any knowledge of this, they subsequently notified me that yes, the DVD burning feature of this beta version conflicts badly with and effectively disables some features of Roxio EMC8. Not a good thing! Especially since they (Google) have not acknowledged this publicly, and users downloading it still will not know about the conflict until they install it and then try to run Roxio EMC8. Google seems to feel that their users are more interested in the ability to burn DVD's with Picasa 2.5 than using Roxio EMC8. Well, that's not good enough for me - I've uninstalled it completely - though that did not return Roxio EMC8 to a working status.
