Print Facebook photos at Target

In case you didn't know, Target now has Kodak kiosks that allow you to connect to Facebook and print photos from your online photo albums.

Here's the news release on the Target/Kodak/Facebook collaboration.

This is cool. But why doesn't Facebook also offer a way to print photos through an integrated online service and have them shipped to you for a nominal price? It would probably be a decent revenue generator for Facebook, which apparently gets 3 billion photos uploaded each month, making it -- I believe -- the top photo-sharing site on the Web.

This news would be even more impressive if there actually were a working on-demand photo kiosk at a Target in the Baltimore area ;-)

Lolz. Good point, sir.

I wonder how well Facebook photos print. With how much Facebook compresses uploads, I can't imagine the quality being very good...

Very good point. I wonder about that, too. -gs
