This is a good idea for MySpace since everyone using photobucket to add pictures to their page just causes its load time to increase.

I’ve been reading reports that estimate by purchase price at around $250m. Why Newscorp/Myspace would pay 10x yearly revenue is beyond me. I never would have guessed they would pick up Photobucket after the episode that happened a few weeks ago.
