I have a couple of thousand of photos on Flickr nicely arranged into sets.
I would assume the way I would normally want to use an app like this is create a gallery/set on FB/Flickr, and then click+drag it to the other site to have a copy.
It looks like this UI only allows me to drag like 5 individual photos at a time, is that right? (Actually, it looks like galleries are recognised in facebook, but only individual shots from Flickr?)

Wow, I just needed something just about like this. If there will be an option to drag and drop full Picasa albums (I see them in the frame) into Flickr and they appear as Flickr Sets, I'm in. Good work there, keep up.
The UI needs some work IMO, feels a bit oldschool.
Tell me one more thing: are visibility settings compatible? If an album is private on Picasa, will it be private on Flickr?

There is an issue with some characters in Flickr: http://i43.tinypic.com/3445gf5.png
My Flickr user name is the same as here, in case you want to check where that error comes from.
Is the description copied from Flickr to G+? Any other data like comments, location?

Not sure if it's a good idea, but maybe someone would enjoy the option of copying the comments as flat text added to the caption. Like "Caption first... Flickr comments: 1. bla 2. bla"
I don't think this is a wise line to have, IIRC it is a violation of Adsense ToS to ask people to click on ads.
heh.

The like button seems to have changed recently, relying only on open graph tags, and not on <title> and others informations.

The visibility settings aren't compatible for now. Am working on providing the choice to user at the time of migration.

On all pictures and albums caption is copied over. It is not possible to copy over comments as g+ user to fb user cannot be done deterministically.
I saw on of the comments about "click on ad", are you relying on ad revenue? Have you though of a business model yet?
The UI definitely needs a face lift. Good luck to your future prospects.
