Photobucket Introduces Snapbucket to Mobile Community

By Deepika Mala, TMCnet Contributor



Photobucket (News - Alert) Corporation, the world’s premier dedicated photo and video sharing service, has launched Snapbucket to complement its existing mobile app. Snapbucket allows users to “snap” photos from their mobile device, as well as to personalize those photos through unique filters, effects, vignettes and frames. Users can also easily share their photos with their social community.

 

“Our users have been asking for more creative ways to express themselves through visual media,” said Kate Hare, vice president of products at Photobucket, in a press release. “Snapbucket gives our users what they’ve asked for – a simple, on-the-go application to capture, personalize and share their photos.”

 

With Snapbucket, it becomes easy for users to create and save their own distinct sets of filter combinations while original and personalized photos are automatically stored online in the user’s Photobucket account.

 

The award-winning Photobucket Mobile App has grown at a staggering rate with mobile uploads increasing by more than 600% over the last year. To accommodate the demand, Photobucket is offering free, unlimited photo storage for all users, plus expanded video storage. In addition, Photobucket added its patented video technology to Photobucket Mobile in January.

 

“We are seeing explosive growth in mobile, and at the same time we are adding a million new users a month on our website,” said Tom Munro, CEO of Photobucket. “With our integrated platform, Photobucket is uniquely positioned to bring together the simplicity and spontaneity of mobile with the creativity and permanence of the web. In the coming months, we will continue to expand our leadership in mobile with additional products, including the release of a new creative video app.”

 

In related news, Photobucket announced three new executive hires: Kate Hare, vice president of products; David Toner, vice president of marketing; and Allison Zweig, vice president of global branded sales.
