Be aware that Picasaweb has been doing live resizing to screen resolution since it launched. This *is* an impressive feature but it isn't completely unheard of. (Picasa will downsize photos to 1600x1200 by default when uploading, so you have to specify that you want to upload originals to get the most out of this) Joe Hey Scoble — hope things are going well with you and the family.

There are a lot of people in the world, and some of them have no interest in their photos and life being out in the open for all to see. Those are our customers - the ones who just want to share with their small circle of friends and family and who care a great deal about how their photos look. We don't consider ourselves to be a competitor to Flickr. Anyone who uses our products would have to agree - we only compete in the very broadest definition of photo sharing: they show photos in a web browser and so do we. @Robert: We all loved your new name for our product - Mugnormous. We hadn't even thought of it, and thought it was fabulous. :) Just to be clear – we’re not really interested in social networking and a big global community like Flickr has and does a fabulous job with.
