MySpace And Photobucket Kiss And Make Up

Photobucket seems to have settled their dispute with MySpace and embedded Photobucket content is once again working on MySpace. A brief post on the PhotoBucket blog reads: “Both our companies are committed to putting our users first.”

This isn't the first time Photobucket has been blocked by MySpace, nor is it the first time blocked services have been restored, but given that Photobucket was rather vocally unhappy about the initial outage, calling on users to protest, it does seem odd that no further explanation of the blockage or the reinstatement has been given.

The Photobucket note to users attempts to alleviate user fears about possible future outages by saying:

Moving forward, we've established open lines of communication and procedures with MySpace to prevent a sudden block of Photobucket content in future. We want our users to be able to share their content and understand it must be within the framework of MySpace's Terms of Service for it to appear on the site.

Which just goes to show, even one of the largest photo sharing site on the web has to occasionally bow to the power of MySpace.
