Who runs the site: Alex Welch and Darren Crystal founded the site in 2003 to allow people to upload and share photos and video content on the Internet. Just this summer, the company was bought out by Fox Interactive Media, a division of News Corp.
Who is likely to use the site: People who use MySpace, livejournal, Blogger and Facebook, or who want to share videos and photos with family and friends through e-mail.
Pros: The site is free and allows users to upload thousands of pictures and videos. But the cool part is that you can share albums from photobucket with other popular networking or blogging sites such as Myspace, Livejournal, Blogger and Facebook, so you can upload the photos once for multiple sites. The site also makes it easy to share photos with friends and family through e-mail. Individuals who register for the site can create photo albums, slideshows and can even buy prints of their digital images. The cost for prints is comparable to other online printing sites. The site also allows people to purchase greeting cards, postcards or even stickers.
Users can also entertain themselves by perusing the other galleries and albums on the site. You can search album topics from love to garden gnomes.
Cons: Like many free sites, this site is riddled with advertising, which can sometimes make it hard to navigate. Also, there are so many albums, it can be hard to find what you want on the site.
