One more step. Google never stops its forward and offered Picnik. This software photo editing online is particularly accessible from sites like Picasa, Facebook, Photobucket, but mostly from Flickr, owned by Yahoo, Google's biggest rival. It is therefore a step in the war between the two servers, since, after all, Google has just taken control of a particular tool proposed by his opponent.

Picnik is a software for photo editing, but a sort Photoshop online (and therefore less sophisticated), which allows among others to remove red-eye or resizing a photo. For users, Picnik provides on its website that this purchase will not cause any change: the toolkit will remain the same, and no Google account creation is required (even if it is advised).The company employs twenty people, believes that Google is "the best house she could find and welcomes the exposure should give this new situation fast cash without a hassle . For employees of Picnik, no change either, except that they now work from Google Local to Seattle.

Google appears clearly in a new phase of development. In early February, he had acquired Aardvark, a sort of super social search engine, then remail, emailing an application for mobile phones. If the leading Internet search engines did not elaborate on how the redemption of Picnik, it is very possible that seeks to develop Picnik to include new features. How to add his personal touch, good memories of his competitors.
