![]() The search redirects to and in general all discovery features seem to have been disabled, except the gallery used in the main page. It would be useful to find a timeline on when they expect a full launch, because usually that comes with forced migration of users and Picasa Web might be completely killed in the process. Maybe Google would be interested in helping by releasing a free dataset as even Yahoo did (/post/89783581601/one-hundred-million-creative-commons-flickr-images-for) and similar to the fotopedia collection. We'll then need a discovery to find all 21-digits user IDs who ever posted public Creative Commons images and dig their albums to find and download them. This might also provide a list of user IDs where further free images can be found. Wayback has 320k URLs, so we should extract the photos which were already archived and are in CC. There's also no way to search or browse Picasa Web by license, apparently (the feature used to exist in 2009). We invest in advanced security infrastructure and easy-to-use privacy controls so you can safely store and share your memories. There's no way to mark Creative Commons images on Google Plus. In fact, users and albums are often forced to "migrate" to Google Plus, without telling them that any Creative Commons marking will be irreversibly destroyed in the process. ![]() The "migration" was deceitfully sold as non-destructive, while stuff is actually killed in the process: see next section.ĭespite illusions in 2008–2009 that it was a fair player, Google is now trashing free culture by making all the Picasa Web images in Creative Commons vanish from the web. Picasa Web Albums can still be accessed through, although its future is uncertain. Since March 2013, redirects to Google Plus.
