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?

    I completely agree with Shannon! My computer is crashed right now so all I have is my iPhone. Making picnik for the iPhone would a huge plus(:

    OMG! SERIOUSLY IF YHU MAKE A PICNIK APP FOR iPhone/iPod IT WUD BE AWESOME! AT FIRST IT SHOULD BE FREE BUT IF THERES A LOT OF DOWNLOADS THEN PPL WOULD HAVE TO PAY A BIT TO DOWNLOAD IT.

    I completely agree wt Shannon. I use this website to edit all my pictures. And u always get complements in them for how cute they are. But I think it would be an excellent idea if you made a picnik app for the iPod/iPhone
