Google buys Picnik

I wonder how this will play out?

Does this make sense when Google already has Picasa?

I wonder if this will effect the relations between Piknik and Flickr.

from a press release:
Picnik features a Flash-powered interface that lets you tweak, crop, and touch-up your photos in your Web browser, avoiding the need to launch Photoshop, iPhoto, or your other favorite photo-editing software. The site already integrates with Google's photo-sharing site Picasa, along with Facebook, Flickr, Yahoo Mail, and Photobucket. According to a blog post on Picnik, support for all those non-Google sites will remain.

I wonder too

wow, i used to use piknik for quick editing...this should be interesting

I must say that Picnik is an excellent tools that has served the purpose for many and saved lots of time. Google already has Picasa and having Picnik to the list would be indeed a good step to have a good command over the Internet. Thinking from Picnik's perspective, it would be better to have been listed in the list of tools provided by Google.
