What a perfect weekend for a Picnik! I know, I know. I thought the same thing last weekend and the weekend before and I’ll be thinking the same thing next weekend. But this weekend is pretty special for us here.  On this holiday weekend we are joined by a record number of new Picnikers — 50,000+ new Facebook users! Welcome! Pull up a blanket and have some chicken.

A big congratulations to the Facebook crew on the F8 launch. They have changed the face of social networks. If you haven’t seen it, go sign up now!

While you’re checking out the new Facebook F8 features, be sure to try the new Facebook apps from our friends at Snapvine and Box.

Enjoy!

From the beginning we’ve designed Picnik to be integrated with 3rd party sites. We dream of having easy, powerful, fun photo editing tools wherever our photos are. Today Facebook has made it possible for us to tightly integrate in just the way we’ve imagined.

We’re happy to announce Picnik’s Facebook integration. After adding Picnik to Facebook it lives as a link right next to Facebook’s Photos link. Click it and you’ll see all your Facebook photos. Open any of them and edit to your heart’s content. Then save your new photo right back to Facebook to share with your friends. You can also easily move photos between Flickr, Picasa Web, and Facebook.

This is the future of best of breed, integrated web applications. You’ve got to see it for yourself! If you have a Facebook account, just click this link to hook it up with Picnik: http://apps.facebook.com/add.php?api_key=e2a53b543852fbddfaa130af2cd49d39.

If you don’t have a Facebook account create one!
