MySpace and HP have teamed up on a deal that will see HP printing technology used across multiple areas on MySpace, including all photo sections. You will be able to easily print pictures from not only people's profile photos, but ones that are inserted into blog posts, comments, messages, etc.  The first stage of the partnership is anticipated to include an HP branded print button enabling MySpace users to preview and print photos directly from their MySpace profiles.

The Google Operating System blog reports that Google is likely changing the name of their Picasa photo sharing service to “Google Photos”. A few other features are due to rollout as well, including licensing options, email photo uploads, and tagging of people in pics.

Let’s all say it together: the Internet is a pretty public place.  But not everyone seems to understand that, and now some teens who posted questionable pictures on Facebook have seen those photos resurface in their high school yearbook.

Flickr is owned by Yahoo, and now the two operations are closer than ever- photos from Flickr have been integrated into Yahoo Image Search.
