this jus dropped in..

"You're receiving this email because there's been activity in your Picasa Web Albums. Perhaps a person you'd marked as a Favorite has uploaded new photos, or someone has left a comment on one of your photos. Each week, if you have new activity, we'll send a short email like this. If you'd prefer to not receive these notifications (or to receive them more, or less, frequently), click here to change your preference. "

When did googs start notification msg on activity ??

Sounds annoying they don't even tell you what happened.

Sam – The email told me that one person had left a comment and that two people added pictures to their albums and provided links to everything :D

No no Nate : the point is when did tis become production status ??

Oh. Sorry I thought from Peter's message that they just told you that "some activity" was going on. And not what. The details is much better.

Nate :can you reproduce the kron notice in verbatim ?? Nowhere did it tell me that ;
(a)"left a comment "
(b) " two people [ok x peeps] added pictures to " or...
(c) "provided links "

Cool, I did not see that option yesterday.

I wish there was a way to verify if people we invited to view our albums did so.

Nate :check the ..scraps

Scrap#1 : email notice

http://slash.pd.googlepages.com/pic1.png

Scrap#2 : Pointer to Date lag

http://slash.pd.googlepages.com/pic2.png

whats with the lag on updates ?? dah ?? a month later ?-give me a freaking break!!

I suspect that this notice was more of a catch up and that future notices will be more relevant :D

if that be the case , then I'll conceed the point.

But I'll still like a "near real time" update to album, jus like flickr does..

lag is just about 40 minutes .on flickr.. why is google taking so long ..leh ike 2 months ?? catching up ?? I'll digress.. I'll conceed .but I want more real time efforts :)-

I agree pd. Notices' that are two months old are pretty pointless. If Google wants to gain the upper edge I would really like to see near real time updates (I really don't think this is to far fetched)

=="I really don't think this is to far fetched)"

agreed, lets see :..should I point to you album and comment ?

posted here :)- pls verify lag time on email notice!!

"I dont like the comments thingy.. lag time is bad :)- "

/pd”
/pd – 8/15/2006

PD – ok, I checked the setting page again and here are the options
<quote>
Email Digest
   * Never Send a Digest
   * Daily digest
   * Weekly digest
   * Monthly digest
</quote>

So, Google right now doesn't intended to send out notices on the hour (the best is daily). On the other hand, when I visit my Picasa Web home page I immediately see that you a posted comment.

Nate :could you change profile to <<* Daily digest>> pls ??

that means within 48 hrs you s/get email notice!!

then you can change it bck to whatever, when you get the email notification. i would like to really see what is the service options verse industrial strength notifications..

is google actually manging their process as per user options or not ??

Already did that pd :)-

thank you Nate , just post back here ...tis is certainly an interesting experiment!!
