Google‘s free image management software, Picasa, has seen it’s first major update in sometime.
Included in Picasa 2.0 are several new features that will probably remind you of other Google products (GMail and Google Groups) such as labels and star rating. Picasa also offers more editing abilities.
With Picasa, GMail, Hello, and Blogger (what I use), Google has made sharing (and finding) your images even easier.
Now, if Google would just get around to updating Blogger and the main search a tad bit more, I’d be happy. 
Picasa 2.0 is getting some love at OCC. The discussion can be found here.
