FACEBOOK PHOTOS IN A WINK

Say you  like the photo you found on a friend’s Facebook page, but it’s trapped; there’s no decent way to print it and share it with Grandma. Shutterfly’s new Wink service lets you make filmstrip photo prints from Facebook, Flickr and the iPhone. Go to  wink.shutterfly.com, or the iPhone app store,  gather three to five photos from your iPhone, Facebook or Flickr page and arrange into a Photostrip template. The Photostrip is delivered in a mailer with a personalized note, for $2.50. If you want, you can edit your Photostrip and add special effects, then  publish it on Twitter or Facebook.
