Note: Renren web uploader is changed. The tool below does not work now. I will release newer version if I got time. Please check back later. Thank you.
Renren.com (previously named xiaonei.com) is the Chinese version of Facebook with millions of active users and Picasa is the photo management software I'd love to use. It is painful to use renren's photo upload web interface, and I do not bother to download the Renren photo uploader (it is a silly idea to create a software just for upload photo). A plugin for Picasa will satisfy all my needs.
Click to add the Picasa Photo Upload Plugin for Renren to Picasa
You need Picasa to use this plugin.
Instructions as well as pictures below show how to use this tool. I know the UI is not looking so great as it is hand crafted html. So far, it needs to contact my server to function properly. Next step will be moving everything to local PC completely by introducing a dummy http server to local.
Steps:
Select the photo about to be uploaded and click the plugin.
Input your login information and click Login. (I will not peek your password, but if you do not trust the security of the program, you are free to abandon it.)
Select album in which the uploaded pictures will be located or creating a new one with desirable access setting, then click Upload.
Wait for the upload progress to complete and the progress bar to disappear, then click FINISHED, then there will be a link appear. Copy the link to your preferred browser to finalize the upload (if you use IE, you can also click the link on the right).
The link lead you to a page where you can put comments for each picture.
