In Picasa 3.9, the upload to Picasa web albums button has been replaced by one that says «Share with Google+» - at least that's what I see (/mutatis mutandi/ - Swedish is the default language on my systems) on my machines. However, when I click that button, the photo(s) is/are uploaded to my Picasa Web Albums, which seems to be integrated with Google+ (I joined Google+ when it was still in the experimental stage, but rarely use it, so my knowledge of how this integration works is vague at best). So far I haven't discovered any particular disadvantage with this arrangement....
The only REAL advantage of g+ is that you have unlimited free photo storage as long as they are no larger than 2048 pixels (I assume the langest dimension here, rather than total number). The only prolific poster in my g+ group (containing people I've "known" via usenet since the late 90s) is a guy who works for google now :-(
Neither g+ nor facebook has an effective 'I've seen that, make it invisible now' function. The 'social fixer'' (formerly 'better facebook') thing makes FB better, but not perfect.
