Is Google trying to turn this into a Flickr so that it can have a wide array of photos for its image search ?

Apparently they aren't planning any ads (Atleast thats what the tour said)

Is the Subscription based system there idea of making money ?

Or is Google just making Yahoo and the other waste resources ?

Anyone... ?

I guess they are giving us hint that you complete online solution is coming nearer. Today you are saving emails, images, events. Tomorrow you will save your Documents Spreadsheets Presentations. And then few days later you will hardly care about your Hard Drive, everything will be online (If you trust Google). Well, I kind of trust them already.

Hmm GDrive isn't a single application, maybe its a mixture of all this ;)

But then again Platypus was uncovered.

I think people should not compare Picasa Web Albums with other photo-sharing services such as flickr. PWA is built solely for users, who already use Picasa desktop software. And for them is PWA the best internet solution, it´s the last piece, which you need for your photo management.
