Considering it was only a WINE version that was little-used, I think it makes sense.

(Same with the Mac version...if you're using Picasaweb to host your photos, you're probably already, or would be better off, using Picasa to organize them instead of kludging a plugin into iPhoto.)

Making a Wine version instead of the real thing was also lame.

I would have guessed that at least a few Googlers would be using Linux on their primary computers.

its a call to stop using google services altogether. I am personnally sick of their now frequent habit to discontinue stuff without even asking before. That shows how little they care. Get LARRY out.

Picasa is more than just a web service, it's great for fixing images (with minimal effort) and searching local collections of photos via face recognition.

I agree Picasa for Linux (Wine or No Wine) was great for some quick picture manipulation. I was well connected to Picasa Web. Picasa is being slipped into G+.

I suspect Google might be working on a better webapp. A lot of picasa style picture editing can now be done in G+ while you post picture. Google has to bring something out for Chrome OS.

What about pictures that won't get posted?

Well, what I mean is that it might be work in progress.
