LinuxQuestions.org - LXer: Picasa for Linux is no Longer Supported by Google

Quote:

Well, even this google officially drop picasa for linux

Something is very wrong here.

The UbuntuPortal version of this article, as you can see, is horribly written. However, the source article it got from webupd8 is fine. Since UbuntuPortal links to webupd8 as its source, one might conclude that the webupd8 article has been revised since UbuntuPortal got it... and not that UbuntuPortal used blackhat article-spinning SEO software to mess it up. But then the UbuntuPortal article below this one has also been obviously and intentionally altered from its source.

I don't think UbuntuPortal has good intentions, and I will never visit it again.

The actual news is here:

We launched a WINE-based version of Picasa for Linux in 2006 as a Google Labs project. As we continue to enhance Picasa, it has become difficult to maintain parity on the Linux version. So today, we’re deprecating Picasa for Linux and will not be maintaining it moving forward. Users who have downloaded and installed older versions of Picasa for Linux can continue to use them, though we won’t be making any further updates.
