The latest news on the fly is that Google has integrated Face Recognition feature to their Picasa Web Albums website. The website will now offer facial recognition feature to help you identify friends and family in your pictures without requiring you to tag them by-hand each time you see them.

The new “name tag” feature automatically matches facial characteristics to present users with an assortment of photos it believes to be of the same person, allowing users to tag hundreds of photos at the click of a button.

Alongside the name tag feature, the company is also introducing an “explore” view that lets people browse Picasa photos, sorting them by name, location and date of upload. There’ll also be an ability to email photos to the service.

The company will also release a beta version of the Picasa 3 image-editing for Windows that includes a new movie maker mode to help you make moving video clips out of your still photographs.
