Kodak recently announced that beginning this summer Facebook users would be able to print their pictures directly from Kodak printing kiosks.
After logging into your Facebook account from the kiosk, you are asked to pick pictures from those that you’ve uploaded. At this point, it doesn’t
appear that you can print pictures where you’re tagged if they were uploaded by other people.
Worried about the size? Kodak will show an icon if your pictures aren’t high enough resolution to limit disappointment.
For a walk-through of how it works, check out the video posted on Kodak’s “Plugged In” blog here.
The only bad thing I have to say? The contact info they give on their press releases is TinyURL.com/emailkodak. [Why would anyone use any URL shortener other than bit.ly?!]
With Kodak taking this step, I think we’ll start to see other printers doing the same. We may even see sites like Facebook and Flickr add an element of digital printing/ordering to the site itself. What do you think?
