Organizing your photos with Picasa, iPhoto, or Photoshop
I have about 10,000 pictures currently, and there are two choices of software that i use to organize them currently.
On my Dell PC, I use Picasa, which I think is the best free software out there to manage your photos and make basic and fun changes to your pictures. say if the shadows are too dark in your picture of people's faces are dark from backlighting, you can use the adjust fill-lighting and make it look like you took that picture correctly! i like the way Picasa organizes your photos according to the folders you set up, and chronologically as well if you so choose. you can also easily order prints directly from the software through vendors like Kodak, walmart, or costco! this is very helpful. so, if you have a PC, get your copy of this free software, made by google:

On my Macbook Pro, i have the iLife suite bundle that includes iPhoto. Picasa is quite similar to iPhoto, but so far, i still belive Picasa comes out ahead. iPhoto is not quite as intuitive to use, and the creative options and fixes are more difficult to grasp. Also one thing that bugs me is the lack of the "hand" cursor to move the picture around when zoomed in. But, alas, Picasa is not available for the Mac platform.
Of course i have Photoshop CS on both computers and it does have its own photo browser which works adequately. But Photoshop is what i use for serious post processing if i am considering printing the picture in a large format.
well i hope that helps you, that's it for now!
