A Eulogy for Picnik

Pin It

Picnik

2005-2012

We are here today to honor a great friend of many. Picnik was born in Fall 2005 to beloved fathers Mike, Darrin and Jonathan.  Picnik started quiet, shy and illusive but soon grew to be incredibly popular amongst people wishing to make the most of cheesy photo edits.

I feel a deeper connection to you already wild bill

Picnik was taken under Google’s wing in 2010. His hopes and dreams seeming to come to fruition. For more than a year Picnik flourished under his new ownership and it seemed nothing could stop him from reaching the stars.
In Jan 2012 those dreams were ripped from him when his mentor and new father figure, Google announced they will be killing him in April.  This imminent doom has not dampened his spirit. Picnik continues to bring joy to millions through text and image overlay

the walrus died of shame 1 week later

Picnik is survived by Picasa, Flickr, Yahoo, and API partners across the country.  You will be greatly missed Picnik.  I challenge all people everywhere: do not forget what Picnik brought to you.  The joy, the magic, the ability to feel like a professional photographer for a day.

just like the pros

How will the world survive without your wisdom and knowledge the the art of face-paintery?

RIP Picnik
