Snapfish by HP today announced an agreement to acquire the video technology platform from Motionbox, Inc., the video sharing site with over 2.8 million members worldwide. This acquisition will enable Snapfish to expand its online video offering.

"Video is a critical component of digital memory sharing today, and Motionbox's technology will enable our Snapfish customers to create great personal video memories," said Helen Vaid, General Manager of Snapfish. "With today's announcement, we are very excited to start integrating the video platform Motionbox has developed into our popular Snapfish Home Video product."

Motionbox customers will now be able to experience a seamless photo and video sharing experience as their digital assets will be in one place when they set up their Snapfish account.

"Our vision has always been to make sharing personal videos as easy and affordable as sharing digital photos. No other photo sharing company is nearly as well positioned to bring our platform to a wide, global market."
