Photobucket has announced the launch of Photobucket Media Plug-in 2.0, an enhanced version of its free image and video hosting plug-in.
The new plug-in gives users of participating web sites the ability to search for billions of publicly stored photos, videos and images from Photobucket’s extensive library, along with access to their own content from existing Photobucket media accounts, all without leaving partner sites.
Photobucket Media Plug-in 2.0 partner sites include: Freewebs, Gaiaonline.com, LiveJournal, Piczo, Rockyou.com, Singshot, Slide.com and Tagged.com.
Photobucket CEO Alex Welch said that by adding search to Photobuckets Media Plug-ins will deliver a more compelling service option for Photobucket’s partners.
25 million searches are conducted daily across Photobucket’s public library of photos, images and videos. The Photobucket service is a top 50 site online according to Alexa; their acquisition by Fox Interactive May 7 seems to have done no harm to the wildly popular service and the launch of this new service would seem to indicate that the company continues to thrive under their new owner.
Tight! A Content Providers DREAM!
see photobucket is nothing without myspace and if that dies then so are they. If they had an API like flickr that would make all the difference as third parties would adopt their system and help take it to new levels
but what are the chances of myspace dying anytime soon?
Photobucket is great for image hosting… but they really need to do more to make the site more compelling like Flickr. I don’t know of any Fort Myes Wedding Photographers using Photobucket
Photobucket seems to be the site that the younger crowd use to host their myspace profile images on. Do they really need all of this? I agree with Scott, but can’t blame Photobucket for doing what they’re doing.
