HP Partners With MySpace On Printing Deal

MySpace and HP have announced plans to integrate HP printing technology across multiple areas on MySpace, including all photo sections.


The partnership is an effort to improve the MySpace experience and allow users to print the photo sections, personal profile, blog entries, comments and messages from their profiles and share them offline.


“Sharing and storing photos online is integral to the social networking experience and one of the most popular activities on MySpace,” said DeWolfe.


“The MySpace platform is home to approximately 4 billion images and our users, from teens to grandparents, will now have an easier way to share their digital assets. We’re excited to partner with HP, a leader in printing, to provide users with new tools to print their photos directly from MySpace and share their memories offline as well.”


The initial partnership will include an HP-branded print button that allows MySpace users to preview and print photos form their MySpace profiles. In the future the companies said they will provide the ability to create and print personalized merchandise with photos from MySpace.


“By bringing the power of print to MySpace users, we intend to unlock content from user profiles, friends’ comments, and photos that were previously only viewable online,” said Joshi.


“Ultimately, HP intends to enable MySpace users to experience their content and tell their stories in a whole new way.”


The MySpace and HP integration will launch in the United States, Austalia, Western Europe and Canada in November.
