Photobucket today is announcing its first integration with MySpace since it has been acquired by the latter in May this year. If you look at both sides and how MySpace planned to integrate Photobucket as one of the third-party application provider to their social network, it took both of these two companies more than six months to do it. This has been a challenge since the images stored by Photobucket users have inevitably been stored in Photobucket’s databases, and now with this newly offered support, MySpace users can add images from Photobucket to a comment column on MySpace profile without having to leave MySpace or log-in to Photobucket. Moreover, a MySpace user can add the images originally uploaded from other users on Photobucket, as Photobucket said, there are billions of images available on its databases at this particular moment.

For recent years, Web 2.0 firms have realized integration with other party only offered greater value. I am looking forward to see that any further integration between these two companies in near future.
