Online Media Cultist

Just picked up via Twitter: a Mashable breaking news report that MySpace is to acquire Photobucket.

If you’ve been following this relationship, you know that it was only recently that the leading social networking site and one of the leading third-party widget/media hosting companies were hating on each other. Then, a few weeks ago, they strangely lavished praise and love on one another as Photobucket videos were reinstated within the MySpaceverse and all seemed right with the world.

At the time, I wrote: “When MySpace lays down the hammer on the next third-party widget or embeddable service, I’ll be very curious to see what Photobucket has to say about that.”

Looks like with its acquisition by MySpace, they won’t be saying much at all!
