MySpace buys photobucket

May 8, 2007 by Paul Spoerry Leave a Comment

Just a few weeks ago, popular social networking site MySpace blocked all videos hosted by digital media storehouse Photobucket.  Evidently the vast majority of all of Photobucket’s traffic comes through in the form of MySpace referrals, though neither company will comment on the matter.  With this recent bout of fighting between the two companies, the last thing anyone expected was a merger.  Well, that’s what just happened.  News Corp, the parent company of MySpace, shelled out the cash to pick up Photobucket, though it’s unclear whether or not they met the $300 million asking price.

So seriously, if I make something “cool” enough (tongue in cheek as MySpace sucks space based monkey ball – ok, ok, yes I have one too but who doesn’t!) that relies on MySpace, will News Corp buy you?

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.
