Hello and welcome back! Topic for this week social media sites for photo sharing!

And I'm going to talk about, Photobucket!

photobucket

What do you do when you have tons of pictures and you want to show them to your circle of friends and family?? Need back up for your precious pictures?? Then Photobucket is for you!

Photobucket is an image hosting, free photo sharing, video sharing and and slideshow creation website. It was created in 2003, and its most famously used for personal albums of pictures. Photobucket is also used widely in blogs, e-bay and also social networking sites such as Myspace and Facebook.

Photobucket offers 500MB of storage space and hours of video sharing. It was previously 1GB, but as all media sites, they started charging. Users who needed more space had to upgrade of course.

In terms of privacy, users could make it a public account allowing anyone to view it, or make it private and only allowing selected people to use it.

Photobucket is not one of a kind in the market, it shares it with more than 30 different types of photo sharing sites. To name a few - Flicker, Image Shack & Picasa. But to me, it feels like the most user friendly and popular choice to use amongst users.
