I love it. There's a desktop version for easy uploading, and the web albums, where I can share the pics with friends & family, and there's even face recognition - which is helpful when I want to find an old picture with Gramma, or whatever. Plus, the Web Albums app is fabulous, and makes it easy to find and save a pic to your phone, etc. Every personal photo I have taken since my 8 year old was born is backed up on Picasa. I love it.

I lost virtually every photo I took pre-2005 a few years back. The photos were backed up, both onto an HDD AND onto one of those gold-plated archival DVDs. And how? Because I first stepped on the DVD case while moving, cracking the DVD. I've had a personal backup system for the past 10-odd years. Sadly, however, nothing can protect you from sure idiocy. I had a massive HDD failure on a work PC, and was under a deadline, so I quickly grabbed the nearest spare HDD, wiped it, reinstalled and kept working. Only later to realize that was my "secure, offline" backup of all my pre-2005 data :(<br><br>I now dutifully use timeMachine + network storage at work + flickr to "backup" my stuff. A sad/funny note?
