Any impact of Google's purchase of Picnik?

I see that Google has just purchased Picnik, as part of their strategy to buy a company a month this year. It's probably too early to answer this, but will there be any ramifications for SmugMug?

I doubt it, based on the following quote from this TechCrunch article.

Google wrote:

We believe that openness is always the best approach and will allow third-party sites to continue to integrate with Picnik. People should be able to pull photos from other photo sharing sites, make edits with Picnik and save to whatever site they choose.

If so, switch to pixlr.com, 10x better.
