HP snaps up MySpace pics

Social networking site, MySpace joins forces with HP in new photo print partnership.

From November, MySpace users in Australia, United States, Western Europe and Canada will be able to print photos that are stored on their MySpace profiles, including photos in blogs, comments and messages by clicking on a HP-branded print button.

In the future, the companies hope to allow users to create and print personalised merchandise with photos from MySpace.

According to MySpace CEO and co-founder, Chris DeWolfe, sharing and storing photos is one of the most popular activities for its users.

"We're excited [to offer users] with new tools to now print their photos directly from MySpace and share their memories offline as well," he said.

Vyomesh Joshi, vice president of HP said that bringing the power of print to MySpace would add to the experience of social networking.

"We are unlocking content from user profiles, friend's comments and photos that were previously only viewable online," he said. "HP is enabling MySpace users to experience their content and tell their story in a whole new way."
