- Google Buzz's Inefficient Photo UploaderHere's another reason why limiting Picasa Web Albums to only 250 albums for the free version and 1000 albums for paid accounts doesn't make any sense. When you upload photos using Google Buzz, Google creates a new album to store your photos.That means you can upload photos less than 250 times and Google Buzz albums clutter the interface.
