Photobucket Launches First of its Kind "Themes" Option to Personalize Online Photo and Video Albums

New Features Including Themes and Enhanced Album Organizer Give Photobucket Users the Most Creative Ways to Keep and Share Memories

San Francisco, Calif., -- October 9, 2008 – Photobucket, the world’s leading standalone photo and video sharing Web site, today announced the addition of new features to make it easier and more fun for users to organize and personalize their photo and video collections.  Starting today, Photobucket users can choose from a vast array of pre-made themes or quickly create their own album design theme to personalize any of their Photobucket albums. Users can also take advantage of new tools to more easily organize the media in their albums.

Brand new "organizer" for your photo and video albums

Our brand new album organizer has to have been the number one requested feature from our most active Photobucket users.  So now it's here. 

So for all you Photobucket users with thousands of photos and videos in your albums, and a bit of a muddle going on with how they are categorized, this one's for you.

Simply click in the top right corner of your album on the "organize" link:

Jonas Brothers, Pink, Tokio Hotel, Pussycat Dolls and Metallica Themes on Photobucket

Along with hundreds of pre-built photo and video album themes in all kinds of categories, we are also launching some band themes today. 

If you like them, let us know -- and tell us which bands you'd like to see.

Photo and Video Album Themes Launch Today on Photobucket

We're pretty sure we've enjoyed getting this feature ready more than anything we've done at Photobucket all year. Heck, maybe ever!

Album themes

What's a theme? It's a 'skin' that you can apply to your entire personal Photobucket album -- and it customizes the background, colors and borders around your photos and videos.

Try out themes today

To try out themes, go to: http://photobucket.com/albumthemes

Or, click "album themes" up at the top of your album. That will take you to the themes selection page. We are shipping with close to 500 different themes for you to try out. Not enough? Then you can make your own. And if you think it's cool, submit it to be shared with other Photobucket users.

Photobucket/Meez Avatar Creation Moves to Meez.Com

Starting today, the Meez Avatar creation option inside Photobucket will no longer be available.  But for those of you who are addicted to these cute little things, you can still go to http://www.meez.com and make an avatar for your Photobucket album there. 

Exporting to Photobucket from Meez.com will still be available too. So if you make an avatar at Meez, you can enter your Photobucket account information over there, and it’ll save your avatar into your Photobucket album.

If you have already made an avatar on Photobucket, they will still remain in your albums so you can share them wherever you like.

Photo scavenger hunt on Photobucket

Do you have happy memories of scavenger hunts, where you had to find red ribbon, a q-tip, and a mystery paperback book (or whatever -- you remember what we mean) -- all in the space of a couple of hours? We do. We love scavenger hunts.

So we decided to try one on Photobucket, in collaboration with the folks who are bringing you the new movie Quarantine.

Go here: http://photobucket.com/quarantine

You have to try to find images from the movie Quarantine. If you do, you can click on them and then enter a contest to win some cool prizes. Simple and fun.

Just the way we like it.
