They (Google) liked it so much, they bought the company!

Google have announced that they have bought Picasa Inc. Picasa is a company that makes software for organizing and managing digital photos and that runs a peer-to-peer network for sharing digital photos.

Picasa’s technology was integrated into Google’s Blogger service in May to simplify the publishing and sharing of digital pictures into Blogger messages (for example check out http://www.tomandpilar.net).

It will be interesting to see what Google are going to do with this.
