Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) has integrated online photo editing service Picnik into Picasa Web Albums. This means that Picasa Web Albums users will be able to quickly edit photos without leaving the photo page. This is Google’s first step in integrating Picnik’s service into one of their products since buying them out three months ago. “You will see that theme moving forward in time,” stated former Picnik CEO and current Google lead product manager of photos Jonathan Sposato. “Things will become more rationalized, more consistent.”
