Cloud Talk

posted by virginia Jun 23rd, 2009

Justin (our Penguin Handler) and Mike (COO) are in San Jose this week for the annual Velocity Conference on web performance and operations. Keynote speakers this year include Jonathan Heiliger of Facebook, Marissa Mayer of Google, John Adams of Twitter, and Justin Huff of Picnik! That’s right, Justin gave a keynote today on “2 Years Later: Loving and Hating the Cloud,” and Mike went along to cheer for him.

Most of our users might hear about “the Cloud” and wonder, “Why would Justin hate the Picnik clouds?” but actually the Cloud is where most of Picnik is stored! It refers to all our offsite data storage, processing, flexibility, and not making Justin install all that hardware himself. That way, it’s where we don’t have to look at it, as if it were hidden behind big white fluffy clouds. So Justin was down there to talk about love, hate, and laziness.

They’ll be there for the rest of the conference, so if you run into them, say hi!

Update: The video is now online!

    Off Topic! Sorry! Are you all working on a Picnik app for iPhone? I keep searching for it! I bet it would sell tons if not overly priced.

    I love this site and also love that you have more beauty aides!! Really cool ones too!
    I only wish for more actions. I find myself only using ortonish, vignettes and lomoish 98% of the time. Just wish they were a few more to make my brides look awesome! I would like to be able to make clouds and technicolor, and star filters on lights would be really cool too :) Creamyness, glowy, etc. I may not know how to use some of these.. is there a training video?

  19. alicia Says:

  20. jayme Says:

    You guys should really come up with an iphone app.. it would be great use for people. it would make top charts most likely in the photography section. you should really think about it(: i looovee picnik its the best

  21. Sheila Says:

  22. Meredith Says:

    Please make an iPhone app!!! I would pay ANYTHING for it!!!!!!

  23. Tina Says:

    Is anything happening with regards to making an iPhone app?? I see people have requested an app for well over a year now, And like them id gladly pay for a Picnik app =)

  24. kirsten Says:

    if there’s a picnik app for iPod touch or iPhones, I would be totally happy. editing pictures have become a huge part of my life and picnik is a great program for people. I believe they should make an app for picnik on iPod touches and iPhones especially. the more people are getting into it the more mobile they are going to become. picnik, please make an app for us!! we would greatly appreciate it!!!

  25. Bridget Says:

    You need to make Ni iPhone app….I would pay so much for it!

  26. Nicolette Says:

    Honestly, it would be a great idea if you guys made an App of Picnik for the iPhone and iPod touch. I would go for the U.S. price of $2.99 – $4.99 of the App if it were selling on the iTunes Store App. You guys would make a lot of money and I’m really willing to pay for that price if it came out on the iPhone and iPod touch cause I am paying Picnik, I’ve been a premium for almost a year. I simply love it!

  27. Allllooooo Says:

    How do u get it on ipod touch?

  28. Amynknox Says:

    Okay seriously! iPhone/iPod/iPad app now! You could charge just about anything. You could even make the app free then people could sign up for the premium at the same rates that are charged on the computer! It would be so perfect!!! You guys would totally be #1 on the photography charts forever!!

    I love picnik so much! I am always on this websit. like 24/7. if they made an app for this then I would love it at a rate if 300% (I love it 250% right now) this websit is amazing. however I don’t think that paying should be needed. this is a great website. my favorite effect is 60′s or ortionish. great stuff. awesome websit. keep up the good work picnik.
