If, like me, you take lots of digital photographs and are, again like me, somewhat indiscriminate when it comes to filing them away then Picassa is for you. Like Google earth this is another free application developed by the boffins at google. When you first install Picassa it scans all the drives attached to your PC (including network files) looking for image files in most of the popular formats. Those paraniod types will be pleased to hear that you can specify exactly which locations picassa is allowd to scan!
Once the full scan has finished Picassa displays thumbnails of all the images it has found in an easy to use interface which includes basic image manipulation tools, organisational tools and provides the ability to post your photos directly to your blog or share them with friends and family.
Whilst it could never be classed as a primary graphics application, Picassa is a godsend when you're looking for that killer image you know is lurking somewhere in one of those random folders you dropped onto your PC nine months ago. I for one couldn't live without it...
