Google’s Intentions
What plans does Google have for Picnik? It won’t say just yet.
“We’re not announcing any significant changes to Picnik today, though we’ll be working hard on integration and new features. As well, we’d like to continue supporting all existing Picnik partners so that users will continue to be able to add their photos from other photo-sharing sites, make edits in the cloud and then save and share to all relevant networks,” says Google product management director Brian Axe in a blog post.
