Google Brings Video Uploading Features in Picasa Web Albums

Google is offering video upload facility inside Picasa Web Albums to all those users who have upgraded to a paid version of Picasa [available for an yearly fee of $25 to US customers only].

While the resolution of videos on Picasa Web is just the same as other videos on Google Video website, the only difference here is that videos are stored in your own personal space and you have absolute control over visitor comments on your videos.
