FotoDesk rolled out social network integration and printing for its free online photo editor flauntR. Users can now sign in to social networks and storage services to edit and print photos without leaving the flauntR photo suite. flauntR’s transparent printing already supports popular social networks and photo storage services, including Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, MySpace, Orkut, hi5, Windows Live Spaces, WordPress, and Bebo.

flauntR’s integration of printing and social networks bridges the gap between various online photo repositories and printing. With the new integrations in place, FotoDesk now provides image processing, sharing, archiving, and printing as a single, seamless service through flauntR. Users can edit and print photos as fine art, posters, canvas, and greeting cards in six different paper types. This relieves the user from having to manage multiple identities and platforms for various photo-related tasks.

FotoDesk Chief Executive Officer Balaji Bal said, “With the introduction of printing and integration with social networks, FotoDesk can fully harness the power of vertical integration and social media to enhance value for users as well as investors. This combination unleashes the true potential of FotoDesk’s single-interface model without compromising user experience.”

flauntR began its service in September 2007 and was acquired by Switzerland-based FotoDesk in June 2008. A week later, FotoDesk acquired ColorPlaza, a pioneer in online photo finishing operating through its brands, Colormailer and FastLab. The group also plans to extend its services to the US and India later this year.
