Photobucket is an image hosting and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community
created by Alex Welch and Darren Crystal dedicated to preserving and
sharing the entire photo and video lifecycle. Photobucket hosts more
than 10 billion images from 100 million registered members, who upload
more than four million images and videos per day from the Web and
connected digital devices. Photobucket's headquarters are in Denver with
regional offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco..
The website was founded in 2003 by Alex Welch and Darren Crystal and
received funding from Trinity Ventures.[2][3] 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.[4]
Photobucket is widely used for both personal and business purposes. Links from personal Photobucket accounts are often used for avatars displayed on internet forums,
storage of videos, embedding on blogs, and distribution in social
networks. Images hosted on Photobucket are frequently linked to online
businesses, online auctions and classified advertisement websites like eBay and Craigslist.
