Google (Finally) Releases Picasa for Mac

Now why would any Mac user want to use Picasa when it's likely that they already have/use Apple's own iPhoto? First and foremost, Picasa is tightly integrated with Google services, from Gmail to Blogger, so if you're more a Google guy than a MobileMe guy, that's a huge benefit. It also sports arguably better performance than iPhoto, and has some nifty features iPhoto doesn't, including startlingly accurate facial recognition technology, making tagging your friends a breeze. Regardless, the program's free, so give it a shot -- you might be surprised just how good it is. [From: Wired]

I believe iPhoto '09 has facial recognition. Am I mistaken?

iPhoto 09 has both facial recognition and geotagging support. Apple just caught up with Picasa. The new iPhoto supports more Flickr features like geotagging. Now I have to decide between Picasa and iPhoto to store and upload my photo collection. I'm wary of what will happen with Flickr. Flckr reportedly loses a lot of money for Yahoo.
