LONDON - MySpace has teamed up with technology company HP to form a strategic partnership enabling MySpace users to print photos from their profiles.

In November, the social networking website will add an HP-branded print button enabling users to preview and print photos directly from their profiles, including images in blogs, comments and mail sections.

In future, the companies expect to provide the ability to create and print personalised merchandise with photos from MySpace.

MySpace chief executive and co-founder Chris DeWolfe said: ‘Sharing and storing photos online is integral to the social networking experience and one of the most popular activities on MySpace. The platform is home to approximately 4bn images and our users, from teens to grandparents, will now have an easier way to share their digital assets.'

This is such a positive move as there's a real demand for this service amongst the MySpace target audience. My only question is why has it taken so long?
