Hi, I'm not familiar with Google Groups. I posted a question and a discussion but they didn't appear in the list.
Will PicasaWeb.com still exist? And most importantly, will my websites that use the API to access someone's photo albums still work? As a web designer, many of my clients update their own photos on PicasaWeb and the updates show on their websites immediately, even from their phone's camera. If this function disappears, I'll have a lot of angry clients, and there's nothing else out there that works nearly as well as PicasaWeb (I used to use Flickr but the API wasn't as good). Here's one of my clients' websites that uses the Picasa API: http://kookandson.com/plumbing.html Thanks!
