The slideshows can be embedded in nearly any page, making it easy to share them with friends. - -Unfortunately [the new slideshows][1] are lackluster at best -- small and a bit ugly. A giant Picasa logo in the lower right corner will obscure a good sized portion of your image and make the entire thing seem more like a viral ad campaign than a feature. - -There's no impressive new features or functionality compared to competing offerings and frankly at least half a dozen other web services already offer similar services that look considerably better. - -Of course if you're a Picasa user the new slideshows, while far from perfect are pretty much the online easy option. - -If you happen to know a bit of Javascript though, you'd probably be better off creating one of the nice Ajax based slideshows courtesy of the [Google Ajax Feed API][2].
