First Flickr teamed up with Picnik to offer a built-in photo editing service and now Photobucket, one of the most popular image-hosting sites out there has teamed up with FotoFlexer. Both Picnik and FotoFlexer are great services and allow for convenient and easy editing of photos online. Here's what Photobucket users will be able to do with the help of FotoFlexer tools:
The new year has just begun and if 2008 is anything like 2007, we should expect a bunch of acquisitions in the tech world. As I heard someone say recently, acquisitions should be considered the lottery for geeks, except the odds of "winning" are much higher than the actual lottery.
Tivo owners now have a new convenient way to view their photos on the TV. Thanks to a partnership with both Picasa and Photobucket, users can access their photos (assuming they're an account holder for either service) right from their broadband connected Tivo device. Depending on the model of Tivo that they own, they can even view them in HD.
MySpace is looking to cater to mobile phone users with their new ad-supported mobile version of the social network which launched today at mobile.myspace.com. It'll be free for users and will work on all U.S. carriers. MySpace has become such a phenomenon and ranks as one of the most visited sites globally, it makes sense for News Corp. to develop a mobile version.
Photobucket is one of the most popular photo and video sharing sites on the web, yet the process of uploading photos has always been pretty tedious because they haven't offered a bulk uploader. Until today, that is. That's right, Photobucket finally has a bulk uploader that will allow you to upload up to 100 images at a time.
It’s been just four years since Photobucket launched, and they’re already celebrating 50 MILLION users! That’s quite the accomplishment, and to help celebrate, they’re offering their users a free gift: 10 free 4x6 prints.
Last week I mentioned that Yahoo Photos is closing, and that there are several alternatives for replacement services. If you choose one of Yahoo’s selected services, it’s a one-click migration process. There are five different services available as alternatives, and some of them are offering incentives if you select them.
It takes some effort to keep up with Photobucket and MySpace. Back in the beginning of April, Photobucket and MySpace were feuding for a second time (first time in 2007) after MySpace blocked Photobucket videos and video remixes from displaying on MySpace profiles. Two weeks after that, they were friends again, and now the latest news is that MySpace has decided to acquire Photobucket.
A couple of weeks ago, Photobucket and MySpace were feuding again (round 2) after MySpace blocked Photobucket videos and video remixes from displaying on MySpace profiles. Photobucket turned to their users to protest this move by MySpace and pressure them to change.
Photobucket and MySpace are at it again — round two of their clash that originally started in January 2007. That time, MySpace said they were trying to prevent security breaches by using a new filter, which in the process blocked Photobucket media.
