What a bummer - I loved using that for siggy pics and such. Apparently they sold out for big money to google, and google's shutting it down.

Re: no more picnik!
picnik.com says: Picnik is moving its easy yet powerful photo editing tools to Google+. But Picnik doesn't end until our last day of April 19, 2012
IT might just be moved to g+/picasa not totally shut down
That's what I was hoping, but this doesn't sound like that's promising:
