I have never seen Picasa used for anything but spam. Can't think of anyone I know who actually uses it properly.

- icefox 11y agoAll blogger images by default get hosted there (or in the same backend?).
- jaredsohn 11y agoI converted my parents over to Picasa when it came out and they still use it; they don't have interest in moving family photos over to the cloud. I am assuming that your comment re: spam is about is about Picasaweb (it doesn't make much sense to me for users to submit spam into their own desktop software). Perhaps a reason for this is that it mostly gets used by people who started with the desktop software and those people keep the photos private so that the only photos seen in public are spam?
- prawn 11y agoI get emails from companies who upload their product photos to Picasa and then use the share feature to spam. No matter how many I marked as spam, they still make it through unhindered.
- yellowapple 11y agoMy grandparents still rely on it exclusively for local photo storage, and use Microsoft's OneDrive for actual sharing. I've been gradually coaxing them into the idea of using Google's stuff for sharing instead of Microsoft's with the expectation that Picasa will someday start pushing daisies and a migration will be needed, but that hasn't happened yet.
