Google did an acquisition today, announcing they had scooped up
Picasa. Their newest family member, which is a digital photo management company,
was purchased for an undisclosed amount of cash.
"Picasa enables users to easily manage and share digital photographs, and its technologies complement Google's ongoing mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," said Jonathan Rosenberg, vice president, Product Management. "Picasa is an innovator in the field of digital photography, and we're excited that the Picasa team is joining Google."
Picasa first came on Google's radar this past May, when the two companies did a deal where Blogger users could use Picasa's technology to upload and manage photos on their blogs.
