I noticed this on Sunday but wasn't sure whether I'd just missed the announcement whilst I was on holiday.
Google System has more too: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006/09/picasa-web-albums-no-invitation.html |
Can you get a Web Albums account with just a Google account, or do you still need a Gmail account.

check this out: << Access: You need an invitation to post and share photos on Picasa Web Albums. You can sign up for an invitation using your Gmail username. No invitation or sign-in is required to view a friend’s photos online. >>

<< Can you get a Web Albums account with just a Google account, or do you still need a Gmail account. >>
You only need a Google Account – Gmail is NOT required. Then you must then choose your "Desired username:" (which must not already be a Gmail username or a Picasa Web Albums username) and then you need to enter your first name and last name and accept the Ts&Cs. |
Actually you need a Gmail account.

Really? I created this one without a Gmail account:

Yeah, you're right. I wonder why they changed that.
I tried to login with the sandbox username/password and it gave me the "Gmail required" error. |
Hey, this is strange. I created a new account and now I have to choose a username. I did that, but when I click on "Accept the terms" (which is the next page), I get this "Please enter a username between 6 and 30 characters." |
