As José's members note, Picasa Web Albums is one less reason to use

surprised that a user group leader was not aware of it.

Just checked again today (8/5) Picasa web site still says it is
windows
only. That would be enough to stop most of my members. Also, it is
invite only, which really is not much of an issue, but, still a
barrier.
It's not Picasa that José's noting. It's Picasa Web Albums - a
different program and only available on Google's web site. That's why
you can't find it on the Picasa web site. (Of course, Picasa should
have this info on their web site, but their purchase by Google
appears to have caused problems. Google's web site now appears to be
the best place to get product info.)
Finally, there are thousands of cool applications for the Mac,
publishing photo albums is only one. Actually I think most of my group
that would be interested in that are already publishing photo albums (
via dot mac, no doubt). I guess it is a good thing that google is
playing catch up, but no, I am not really that interested in keeping
track of what google is up to. There are more interesting and valuable
things in the Mac world.
You might want to rethink this. Google are now a dominant player in
the computer industry, challenging Microsoft itself. To ignore them
is to ignore significant happenings in the industry that are of
interest to your members.
