MySpace blocks Photobucket videos
MySpace yesterday blocked its users from posting videos hosted on Photobucket on their profiles. This means that thousands of videos that had already been posted are no longer available.Users upload 50,000 videos a day to Photobucket, which is already one of the internet's largest photo hosting services.
