Palo Alto, California - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - June 15, 2006 - Visual content hosting and publishing service, Photobucket, has launched Photobucket Jwidget, designed as an industry-first tool that enables any web site to provide free image and video hosting for its users. In addition, Photobucket’s content moderation operation, according to the company, aggressively removes objectionable material, offering a value added service for partner sites.

Photobucket believes that consumers want to personalize and enhance online experience on multiple sites. This requires multiple browser windows to accomplish sharing images and videos at sites. The Photobucket Jwidget is designed to streamline the user experience by keeping consumers on sites to upload and link digital content. Photobucket’s existing 18 million members can publish content stored at Photobucket to those sites in a few easy steps.

Alex Welch, Chief Executive Officer of Photobucket explained, ”The Photobucket Jwidget brings social media, blogging, and ecommerce sites free and reliable image and video hosting, and access to Photobucket’s world-class content moderation. It is our goal to make it extremely easy for our members to express themselves visually on a variety of Web sites, and for our partners to enable their members to have the best image and video sharing experience possible.”

Photobucket members currently link images and videos to over 60,000 social networking, blogging, ecommerce web sites and discussion forums. The Photobucket Jwidget is a solution for sites that want to allow members to link images and videos, without toggling back and forth between a Photobucket account. The Photobucket Jwidget is a free plug-in that can be implemented in minutes, giving any web site image and video hosting and publishing functionality at no additional cost.

Jeremy Verba, CEO of Piczo added, ”Our members use Photobucket tools to enhance their online experience. By implementing the Photobucket Jwidget, our users can easily access their Photobucket content within Piczo itself. The Photobucket Jwidget improves our members’ experience on Piczo by allowing them to spend more time designing their personal web sites.”

The Photobucket Jwidget is an iframe within the pages of third party web sites, designed to allow members to access and publish images and video content from a Photobucket account. Photobucket Jwidget is a free, self-service plug-in that can be implemented in minutes on any web site.

Photobucket endeavors to provide a simple, fast, and reliable service that enables efficient sharing and publishing of visual digital content online. Images, graphic art, and videos can be directly linked from Photobucket to any site, including popular sites like eBay, Gaiaonline, Piczo, Blogger, LiveJournal, Facebook, Bebo, Friendster, and Myspace.
