MySpace Blocks Photobucket
MySpace is at it again ! It has banned use of Photobucket pictures,videos into MySpace..
Photobucket, founded in 2003, has 39 million registered users and ranked 34th among comScore's top 50 U.S. Web properties in March, with almost 16.8 million unique visitors.
Photobucket ranks by far as the most popular photo sharing site in the U.S. with 41.4 percent of visits to sites in that category in March, according to Hitwise. 
Photobucket, which lets users store photos, slide shows, videos and graphics on its servers and then link them to other Web sites, receives almost 57 percent of its upstream traffic from MySpace, according to Hitwise.
Photobucket even had exclusive pages like "The most popular myspace icons on Photobucket" etc…
Likely Reason:
Not a word still from News Corp. as to why; though Mike Arrington @ TechCrunch said that it may be because Photobucket is looking for a buyer. Where the photo and video sharing service is to fall into the hands of one of MySpace's main competitors — say Google or another big media company.
From Photobucket's official blog:
MySpace became successful because of the creativity of you, its users, and because it offered a forum for self-expression. By severely restricting this freedom, MySpace is showing that it considers you as a commodity which it can treat as it sees fit.
