Pictobrowser, a great slideshow for Flickr and Picasa

Hi! When I was setting up this new version of "the BiT Bang Theory blog" in Blogger I had to make some choices. One of them was which free image hosting to use, Picasa Web Albums or Flickr? I ended up choosing Picasa Web Albums (if you're wondering why, check the link). With this choice, I had to make another one: which slideshow should I use? Well, I could just use the slideshows from Picasa but, honestly, they look very ugly and do not fit into the blog's color scheme. They should have added some options to customize them. After some searching through the web I found two slideshows that I really liked. The one I liked the most is the one featured on the title of this post: Pictobrowser.

I'd like to point out that this analysis concerns only the free accounts.
