MySpace to Absorb Photobucket
In the early days of the MySpace, Web 2.0 revolution, Photobucket was everywhere. It was one of the few places users could upload photos and embed them in other websites for free. Then, Photobucket expanded to let users create slide shows and host videos... then MySpace did the same. Of course, this is when MySpace kicked Photobucket off its site, meaning thousands of users suddenly couldn't use the pioneering service to get their favorite videos and pictures up on their home pages.
The freeze-out lasted only a short while. Users protested and Photobucket appealed to News Corp. (the parent company of MySpace). Oddly enough, this brouhaha is exactly what started the talks between News Corp. and Photobucket that led to a merger worth around $250 Million.
The question now, of course, is: What happens to all your Photobucket content posted on MySpace-rival social-networking sites such as Facebook?

Did who ever wrote this ever even use Facebook.com? What kind of a dumb a$$ are you? Who uses photobucket.com to post stuff on facebook? NOBODY. You can't change your profile around, all you can really do is Write on other people's wall, (like posting a comment on MySpace). Also you can't even post pictures on the wall. So what the hell is this guy talking about? You don't need photobucket if you are on Facebook. Facebook lets you have an unlimited amount of pictures! So I will answer you question of "What happens to all your Photobucket content posted on MySpace-rival social-networking sites such as Facebook?". The answer is "nothing dummy."
