Google’s Picnik Deal Prepares for a Future in the Cloud

Google on Monday announced its latest social-web acquisition: Picnik. A complement to Google’s Picasa and a partner with services like Yahoo’s Flickr and Photobucket, Picnik lets users edit photos in the browser. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Brian Axe, a product management director at Google, noted the rise in people sharing and storing photos online.
