SEARCH ENGINE OUTFIT Google has decided to write a cheque to buy the photo editing software maker Picnik.
According to a spokesperson Picnik's software will be shoved under the bonnet of Google's cloud offerings. That seems odd, since you never really want clouds at a picnic. They are a bit like ants.
Google wants people to edit their photos using Picnik without having to leave their browsers. It allows punters to crop, touch-up and add effects to snaps.
Google promises that Picnik will continue to operate as it does now, but the search outfit says it is working hard on integration and giving it new features. ยต
