Picasa, an image organizer and image viewer for organizing and editing digital photos, and an integrated photo-sharing website, originally created by a company named Lifescape, was acquired by Google.
The word "Picasa" is a blend of Pablo Picasso, a Spanish painter, and the phrase mi casa, Spanish for "my house" and "pictures. Since acquired by Google, Picasa began offering it as freeware.
