http://www.terminally-incoherent.com –

Latest gThumb Dev Build (2.11.x) Adds PicasaWeb Support
http://www.webupd8.org –
F-Spot is an almost complete photo management application but has a problem (according to many people): it uses MONO. An advantage over similar tools like gThumb is the option to upload to PicasaWeb or Flickr. For the stable version of gThumb (2.10) that is, because the latest development version of gThumb (2.11.x) has already gained PicasaWeb support (not Flickr support for now though)!
