Installing Picasa 3.0 in Ubuntu 10.04

         Picasa is free photo software from Google. Google had announced the latest version of Picasa 3 to Linux distributions too. As i switched from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 10.04, i feel difficult to organise the pictures and my albums in order,because in Windows 7 i'm greatly fond of using Picasa 3.

Its easiness to integrate with Picasa Web albums are the key features that i admire every time. You can sync your Picasa 3 and Web Albums edits, change your online album settings from Picasa, and delete online albums from Picasa.
