Just great...

I dont use MySpace, but ill bet this means all other types of photo submission services will suddenly cease to work with Myspace, if they havent already.

That is to be expected

You are probably right. That is the price you pay when you give up independence for convince.

Web services have a lot of benefits but you will always be at the mercy of the company.

Fine

But if Murdoch messes with Photobucket's sharing and blocks the millions of bloggers who use it to host their layout graphics, Murdoch is in big trouble.

No, he won't be in big trouble

Very much like Larry Ellison, he has a tremendous vertical. He can act like a horse's meglomaniac ass all he wants to and no one can touch him.

More Space

MySpace + Photobucket = more space.

Typical of 900-pound gorillas. Nevertheless, consumers win.

[GovernmentMan]

yeah, a big win for us

Competition

This could encourage competition among other social-networking sites.
