Hi,

I checked in our documentation and it says <media:content> uses the
url attribute to specify the link:

http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/reference.html#media_content

Then, not being one to trust that the docs haven't been updated in the
not so distant future, I dug into the revision history. This element
has not been changed since launch last year. As far as I know, it has
always been the url attribute that people have had to use to retrieve
the <media:content> link. It appears to be a similar story for
<media:thumbnail> as well.

Cheers,
-Jeff
