To some people, 1,000 photo albums sounds like a lot; a handful each for pets, cars, significant others, and vacations would about cover it. But serious photographers take lots of pictures, and for the sake of not stifling them, Google's raised the per-Picasa-account limit on albums to a whopping 10,000.
Think Picasa's engineers have too much time on their hands? Look at it this way: before this update, if someone did the not-impossible and created a photo album a day, he or she would have hit the limit in under three years. So Google's potentially meeting an authentic need here.
There's a way in which this Picasa development might be meant to benefit another Google product, as well. On the Google Photos Blog, a pair of software engineers wrote, "We heard that you needed more room, and because we want you to keep sharing your photos and posting them to Buzz, we've worked hard to now raise this limit to 10,000 albums" (emphasis ours).
