Photobucket Now Available Inline For MySpace Users

Photobucket has announced inline support for inclusion of Photobucket photos within MySpace. To use, MySpace users click on “Add Image From Photobucket” when leaving a comment, which then provides them the ability to browse their Photobucket photos. Users can also search Photobucket for images other than their own for inclusion in a comment.

The only downside is that MySpace has yet to provide log in integration with Photobucket, and hence MySpace users will not only require a separate Photobucket account, they’ll also have to log in to Photobucket from within MySpace to use the feature.

The addition of Photobucket support in MySpace has certainly not been quick in coming (MySpace acquired Photobucket in May for $300 million) but it is a step in the right direction. Photobucket has continued to grow since being acquired by MySpace, and has recently passed the 56 million member mark, up from 36 million in March.

    Facebook will never overtake MySpace - simply impossible, period.

    Myspace is so ghetto, the Photobucket IFRAME with auth is totally easy to implement.

    Myspace just keeps getting more and more popular. Everyone I meet has a myspace account.

    When is photobucket going to get an API like Flickr??? This is killing me, as many users on my site love to create albums on Photobucket and integration is painful.

    Photobucket is dead to me. They don’t honor their TOS, and have banned numerous accounts to “clean house” of non-paying accounts that are too old. If you have an account, you better back up your photos you have on Photobucket.
