Picasa Web Albums + Picnik!

I did a post about a very nice service called Picnik back in February. Picnik is an amazing, free service. With no install nessacary, Picnik is great for quickly editing all your online photos from one place. It's the easiest way on the Web to fix underexposed photos, remove red-eye, or apply effects to your photos.

Picasa web albums is the easiest way to upload and share photos online. So what happens when you put these two great services together? You get one mindblowing service. This will be done with Picasa's API. More information on API and what it has done for Picasa can be seen below.

The Picasa Web Albums data API allows client applications to view and update Picasa Web Albums content in the form of Google data API ("GData") feeds. Your client application can request a list of a user's albums, photos, comments, or tags, edit or delete content in an existing entry, and query the content in an existing entry.

Here are some of the things you can do with the Picasa Web Albums data API:

• Include your public photos in your own web page, and allow users to comment on them (and have the comments stored in Picasa Web Albums).
• Write a plugin to manage your albums and photos from a desktop or mobile phone client.
• Create a custom screensaver to display your Picasa Web Albums photos on your computer.

More projects other than Picnik + Picasa are on the way and they can be seen below.
