Picasa gets updated to 3.5.Picasa gets updated to 3.5. Google’s Picasa has been given an update – to version 3.5. The photo manipulation software has been fluffed up with facial recognition and Google Maps functionality, as well as a whole host of bug fixes.

The facial recognition is called “Name Tags” and has been available in the web version of Picasa – “Picasa Web Albums” – for some time. It scans your photos and attempts to identify individuals through their facial features. It then gives you a list of clusters of photos featuring “unnamed people” that you can tag. You can also sync that with your Google contacts.
