Freewebs Teams With Photobucket

Photobucket has announced a partnership with Freewebs today. This relationship involves Photobucket's JWidget partner program along with Freeweb's soon-to-be released Remote Publishing API. Freeweb's API will allow users to post content directly to their Freewebs accounts from Photobucket.

"This is just the first step in what's going to be a strong partnership," said Freewebs' President Shervin Pishevar. "Our 14 million members expect unprecedented ease of use from Freewebs to create multimedia sites and blogs. Photobucket's partnership and deployment of its JWidget allows members access to extensive libraries of still images and videos — from their own albums and from publicly available content on Photobucket."

"The online, engaged, and creative youth that are core to Photobucket's customer base want simple tools for self expression, and easy ways to share their content with their communities," said Alex Welch, CEO of Photobucket. "Freewebs is a great partner destination for that."
