Picasa 3.8 release, with creative and technical updates
We are happy to announce the latest release of Picasa’s photo management software is available for download. Depending upon your update settings, Picasa 3.8 will auto-update to your desktop over the next few weeks or you can manually download the latest version by visiting picasa.google.com.

Key updates in this release:

* Batch Album upload —Now you can upload multiple albums
all at once to Picasa Web Albums, see what you have already uploaded to Picasa Web or have already uploaded at a low resolution.

* Additional options with Picasa Web Albums — Remove albums, change upload size, visibility, or the sync state of photos that are already online on Picasa Web Albums.

* Addition of Picnik photo-editing — Picnik is an easy and powerful photo-editor and now it can be accessed from within Picasa. Select Picnik.com from the editing options, edit your photo, and save it right back to your album. Please note, you will need to be connected to the Internet to access Picnik’s features.

* Face Movie — This is a definite must-see. Create a movie based around a person. As the photos transition from one to another the subject’s face stays aligned in one focus area, creating a unique viewing experience.

I haven't tried all new features but looks like they also added Picknic integration to WebAlbums
So far so good, but it requires Flash (MSIE) to work properly
This could be good for speedie edits overall not very impressed

To Google Picasa team: more movie transition effects/layouts please! Well it might rival Microsoft WLMM soon. Picnik integration not bad.
