New software to bring to your attention

If you do not already have picasa 3 downloaded onto your computer, I suggest that you go and download it now. It was created by the Google coorperation and is an image sharing / editing / viewing tool that takes the place of ordinary windows programs such as Media viewer. As soon as you run Picasa it opens up a pane containing all of the pictures that you want it to display. From here you can create web albums, arrange into  folders, remove folders from Picasa, or hide folders (good for personal content). Also, whenever you open an image from your computer it will be opened using the Picasa media viewer. This viewer also allows you to create a slide show out of any photo album that you want.
