Ok I was reading google news this evening, found this interesting. Digital Photo-management company Picasa has experienced a dramatic rise in the number of visitors to its website, following its acquisition last week by search behemoth Google. The company produces software that enables consumers to organise and share photographs online. When Google placed a link to Picasa on the Google UK homepage on July 16th, Picasa experienced a staggering 6,000% increase in visits among UK sites, according to data from Hitwise. Picasa increased its rank among all sites from # 16,300 on July 9th to # 313 on July 16th and was the second most visited site within the Hitwise Photography category ahead of Jessops, Kodak and Canon.
We got it in OZ also, I downloaded it and like it. Haven't played with all the features yet though but it's worth downloading.
Nothing else on the stark white page worth clicking .... so no wonder it nearly killed them. M PS A position on that page must be nearly priceless.... PPS But as it has no content they cant show their own ADs would probably just come up with public ads....
