May 2, 2010 – Google just updated their Picasa service by adding links to make it easier to share a photo or an entire album on Google Buzz, Blogger and Twitter. When viewing a photo, you’ll now see icons to the right for each social network. Simply click the appropriate icon, customize your message and post it. Google also updated the “Link to Photo” URL so that the album name is hidden on the viewer’s photo page, making it possible to share just one photo within an album keeping the rest of it private.
