Google De-Automates Addition of Gmail Contacts

Google has smart solutions for every thing that comes on the way, This is one out of that


"We've heard from some of you that Gmail's auto-added contacts can lead to too much address book clutter,"

"One of the advantages of automatically creating contacts is that all of the addresses you e-mail subsequently show up in auto-complete. We wanted to preserve this benefit while giving you the ability to have a clean, uncluttered contact list, and we've come up with a solution that's rolling out this week.

It separates your contacts into two groups: 'My Contacts' and 'Suggested Contacts.'"Gmail still auto-gathers e-mail addresses, but now they're just "Suggested Contacts." You, the user, now must now take a more active role in defining your social circle.


Instead of removing/etc the functionality, how smartly they came up with a smart solution.

Google Brings Full-Album Downloads To Picasa

Here's a tip for families sharing photos on Picasa Web Albums, or for anybody else who needs to shuttle large sets of photos from one computer to another. With Picasa Web Albums, your viewers can download entire photo albums to their Picasa library on their PC with just a click. This is perfect for situations like parties or big family get-togethers, since you know other guests will probably want original-resolution files they can print at home, or save to their local photo library. Obviously, we love it when people browse and enjoy photos on the Picasa Web Albums site itself, but we won't step in your way if you're trying to share full-resolution originals with your friends.

Downloading full albums is pretty simple, and enabled by default -- just look for the "Download Album" link on the left-hand side of an album page. Note that the PC you're browsing with needs to have Picasa installed for this link to appear; downloaded albums will automatically appear in a 'Downloaded Albums' folder inside Picasa.

Of course I had to test it out. It works just as Google describes.

There's actually another feature that I am more excited about. Picasa lets you embed photo album slide shows into blogs or web sites.
