Varning för Photobucket!

Photobucket är en webbtjänst för uppladdning av digitala bilder och videofilmer i privata eller publika fotoalbum. Det grundades 2003 av Alex Welch och Darren Crystal och finansierades av Trinity Ventures. Det övertogs av Fox Interactive Media 2007.

Fox Interactive Media, Inc. went out of business. Fox Interactive Media, Inc. offers Internet media management and content broadcasting services. The company owns and operates FoxSports.com, FoxNews.com, Fox.com, and Americanidol.com that offers entertainment, lifestyle, sports, and news broadcasting services. Additionally, it offers Internet community services through its MySpace.com website. The company was founded in 1979 and is headquartered in Beverly Hills, California. Fox Interactive Media, Inc. is a former subsidiary of Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc.

In December 2009, Fox sold Photobucket to the startup digital photography company Ontela.

Photobucket was founded in 2003 by Alex Welch and Darren Crystal and received funding from Trinity Ventures. It was acquired by Fox Interactive Media in 2007.

In December 2009, Fox's parent company, News Corp, sold Photobucket to Seattle mobile imaging startup Ontela. Ontela then renamed itself Photobucket Inc. and continues to operate as Photobucket.

In June 2010, Photobucket was named in the Lead 411's Hottest Seattle Companies list.

On June 28, 2017, Photobucket changed its Terms of Use regarding free accounts and third party hosting (hosting on forums, eBay, etc). Only the most expensive plan, at $399.99 per year, now permits third party hosting and linking to forums, etc. Which effectively alienating a very large percentage of their users, whom only used Photobucket for third-party image hosting. Photobucket made this change with no input or consultation with their current users, or the public. Adding this to photobuckets use of excessive pop-up ads, scams, clickbait advertisements, and in some cases viruses embedded in ads, the number of active account quickly decreased.

This new business model has caused thousands of forum DIY's and write-ups with explanatory pictures to be rendered useless. About 500 words into the linked document was a declaration that free accounts would no longer permit image-linking to third-party sites. Ebay and Etsy have also been affected, in addition to many forums and blogs. Thousands of images promoting goods sold on Amazon and other shopping sites have been removed after the photo-sharing service changed its terms.

Twitter partnership

Twitter announced in June 2011 that Photobucket will become the default photo sharing platform for Twitter.[12] According to a report by Sysomos, 2.25M images are shared on Twitter daily, which accounts for 1.25% of all Tweets posted.[13] Just before the announcement, TwitPic and Yfrog were the leading photo-sharing services.

Photobucket offers free and subscription based (Plus) accounts. Free account users receive 2 GB of storage for photo and video uploads, 10 GB of transfers (which they call "bandwidth") per month for sharing and linking, and unlimited access to Photobucket’s editing, slideshow, and Story features. "Plus" accounts are structured into storage tiers and offer unlimited bandwidth, use of site features, and an advertisement free experience.

The following describes Plus subscription pricing as of October 2016

2 GB - free
20 GB - $2.99/month, $29.99/year
50 GB - $4.99/month, $49.99/year
100 GB - $8.99/month, $89.99/year
200 GB - $16.99/month, $169.99/year
500 GB - $39.99/month, $399.99/year (Only option that allows embedding/hotlinking)

Jonathan Miller, the former CEO of AOL, is taking over the digital assets of News Corp., we’ve confirmed independently – his new title will be CEO of Digital Media. This will include Fox Interactive Media and other duties. Peter Levinsohn, the current president of Fox Interactive, will be leaving his current position but will remain at News Corp.

This is more than a little ironic. Miller currently works with Ross Levinsohn at Velocity Interactive Group – and Ross Levinsohn was the head of Fox Interactive before Peter Levinsohn took the position in late 2006.

This means Miller is now running MySpace and other News Corp. digital assets, making him MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe’s fifth boss in the last few years.

Miller was under contractual obligations with AOL not to work with AOL competitors until this month. Time Warner vetoed his appointment to the Yahoo board of directors last year under the agreement.

We and others have been speculating for weeks that Peter Levinsohn would soon be replaced (particularly since his champion, Peter Chernin, recently announced his own departure) along with a possible reorganization of FIM. Levinsohn is definitely out. What isn’t clear is how the division is being reorganized, but the job will almost certainly be bigger than running the existing FIM assets.

Nu har jag inte grävt så djupt i saker men nog borde man kunna dela bilder från sitt moln? Å ett moln har väl dom flesta i dagsläget?

Man kan dela bilder från Google Photo utan problem (än så länge, är väl bäst att tillägga...) 
Det är bara att öppna bilden man vill dela, högerklicka på den och välja "Kopiera bildadress"  URL:en blir skapligt lång, Photobuckets bild som jag klistrade in ser ut så här:
