URLs in captions and comments at Picasa Web Albums
Google are now turning URLs that appear in captions and comments at Picasa Web Albums into clickable hyperlinks. Unfortunately URLs in album descriptions don't get the same treatment.
The matching picks up the following examples of text and turns them into clickable links
- full URL - http://www.picasa.com
- URL without the http - www.picasa.com
- secure URL - https://www.picasa.com
- email address - support@picasa.com
- URL with parameters - http://picasaweb.google.com/documentingpicasa/DocumentingPicasa/photo#4973650529123762194
Certainly doing this for captions is a very good idea (and I don't see why they don't do it for album descriptions as well in the same way). However doing it for comments is a double edged sword - it can lead to more spammy comments being left.

I notice that URL's with _ in them don't work. So if you want to link to a google document that you have published. The link is broken.
