Photobucket vs. Myspace!
Apparantly, Myspace has made it impossible to hotlink Photobucket ~~images or~~ videos and use on your Myspace profile.

The Powers of Photobucket are not happy about this and post in their company blog

Of course, there's lots of wank in comments.

The articulate ones:
IF U LIMIT PHTO PEOPLE WILL LEAVE MY SPACE AND GO TO OTHER SITES THAT DO NOT HAVE RECTRICTONS

The I'm-gonna-pimp-MY-site-now ones:
I am trying to get my own social network going that I hope will outperform myspace-but no members yet, and it will rely heavily on third party video/image/audio feeds.
I haven't tried embeded a photobucket video into it as I haven't seen one yet, but that would only take a few minute to fix if given the format.

The [not-really-related-but-disliked-political-faction] comparsion:
Wow and the fascism train of myspace picks up more speed! That what happens when a good independent idea gets bought by a corporation!

i did not know we lived in communist russia.
what a f ing joke. tom you are overstepping your boundries. of the people by the people for the people! don't forget who made you rich... US! very typical of ever good thing, it has to come to an end. i hope you
( myspace/tom) reconsider the error of your ways. FOAD!!!!

etcetera and so on.

Anyone knows if MySpace has said something about this? I can't find anything there, so I haven't even looked.

	Every once in a while I wonder if I'm the only person left on the internet who doesn't give a damn about MySpace and what they do. Wanders back over to his LJ page to post sloppy Harry Potter fanfiction (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Oh, believe me, you're not. There is no amount of damn small enough for me to bother giving. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Nope. I only have one to ~~stalk~~ look up old friends. Most of the time you have to be logged in to use the search function. It's muy annoying. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That's the only reason I've got one. And I hate the fact that you have to have one to look people up. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Psh, Facebook is blatantly the tool for the discerning e-stalker. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, but for the longest time you could only sign up with them if you had a uni or alumni email, neither of which I had when Facebook got "cool". Now I just cant' be bothered. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I think you must be using a different internet to me. I was always under the impression that there was lots of very healthy mockery and indifference for myspace all over the place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ah, but you see, wanting to mock MySpace still indicates some interest in it, if only as something amusingly stupid. I don't even care about it enough to hate it. I just don't give a shit about it. At all. It is never on my mind unless someone mentions it in front of me. Shrug (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm kinda similar. But when the Photobucket main page has a link called Click here for breaking news about Photobucket and MySpace posting issues. I get a bit curious ^^ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
