Google Picasa Web Albums Uploader updated for iPhoto '08
The Mac folks over at Google have announced the release of an update to their Web Albums Uploaders for their online photo sharing site Picasa. The single download actually contains two packages. One is a plugin for iPhoto that adds compatibility with iPhoto '08 and automatic conversion of iPhoto keywords to Picasa tags. The other is a standalone drag-and-drop uploader application. In both cases, under the hood there are more substantial changes involving automatic updating and a new Picasa API. In any case, if you're a Mac Picasa user you'll want to check this out.Update: Unfortunately, it looks like Google forgot to change the download link and it still points to version 1.0 instead of 1.1. The actual download can be found here.

This sounds great but I'd rather see Picasa for Mac.

Sweet! I use iPhoto 08, and I use PicasaWeb. Having the export function in iPhoto makes my life easier :)

It doesn't work- looks like the link still downloads the old version.

This download is a little confusing. There's no version info on the download site. After downloading, if you drag the app icon to your Applications folder, nothing happens. You actually have to double click on the icon to start the installation.

To heck with iPhoto wacky piece of consumerist junk that it is...I wanna see plugins for Photoshop (and/or ImageReady) and/or Lightroom.

I can confirm--this does nothing. I wonder if we have to install the Google updater to get this to work? (Ugh.)
