Picasa is shutting down and it is hogging all the limelight in recent time. The new updates or app will not activate in Picasa from March 15 2016. The official close of the Picasa will be from May 1 of this year
Image organizer Picasa was Google’s first headlong dive into the photo sharing and storing service, and in a lot of ways has paved the way for the company’s exploration into media. But now, the company is finally saying goodbye to the nearly fifteen-year-old product in a blog post today.
N10: Sharing photographs with friends, families, and even strangers at the local pub is an activity that's been loved by people for more than a century. Thanks to this digital age in which we live, this no longer involves whipping out your wallet and whipping out a half dozen photos of your wife and kids (that's what smartphones are now for).
Now, what if the people with whom you want to share said photographs aren't in the same room as you? Sure, you could attach them to an email or upload them to Facebook for everybody to see, but the former is a pain for more than a couple of images and the latter requires the person to not only have a Facebook account but also be your friend on the site - neither all that convenient in the long run. That's where the growing online photo sharing service market kicks in. While there are a number of such services available - most for free - there are at least five worth making note of.
Too bad Picasa is shutting down, just goes to show you how nothing is permanent.
There is always an alternative to everything just need to find the perfect that suits my requirement.
