Google releases Picasa 3.0 with new features

Today, Google released Picasa version 3.0, the next generation of Google's photo management software and introduced a new "name tags" feature to help you automatically organize your photos based on who's in each picture. .

As per their post, 'name tags feature to help you automatically organize your photos based on who's in each picture. Gmail's contact list plays a key role in making name tags work: not only does it help you quickly auto-complete names as you tag the people in your photos, but any new contacts you create in Picasa Web Albums automatically become accessible in Gmail.'

Sending a picture to a web album is now as easy as specifying the album name in the subject, giving you an ideal way to upload photos from your mobile phone. (It's also great for forwarding pictures sent to your Gmail account directly into a web album.)
