Kim Photo Software
I'm not sure what the significance of this is, but the URL www.KimPhotoSoftware.com is an alias of www.picasa.com.
The domain was first registered in Jan 2004, and checking with the Internet Archive, which first became aware of it in Sept 2004, first shows it holding data from 2003 about Hello, Picasa's IM photo client.
In fact, there are 14 sites in total that share the www.picasa.com system:
- dontswitch.com
- kimphotosoftware.com
- lifescapeinc.com
- mypicasa.com
- picasa.com
- picasa.net
- piccasa.net
- wwwpicasa.com
- wwwpicassa.com
- wwwpicassa.net
- wwwpiccasa.com
- wwwpiccasa.net
- wwwpiccassa.com
- wwwpiccassa.net
Aside from KimPhotoSoftware, the dontswitch.com is also unexpected, and unexplained. The rest of the sites are entirely understandable - Lifescape Inc was the company that became Picasa Inc (before Google bought it); Picasa in its com/net forms is the main version of the site; various domain typos are supported, and mypicasa.com is a perfectly reasonable variation to have registered.
