Thousands of new groups made on Photobucket

Since we launched Group Albums a month ago, literally thousands of groups have been made by Photobucket users.  What's a Group Album? It's an album where groups of people can contribute photos and videos to the same album -- great for events, interest groups, teams, schools, weddings -- wherever many people get together with many cameras. 

Click here to read the original blog about Group Albums.

Check out some of the featured Group Albums on the main Group Albums page.

And here's a short list of some of our favorites that we've seen made over the past couple of weeks.

Graduation: http://photobucket.com/2008Graduation

Piercings: http://photobucket.com/piercings

Puppies: http://photobucket.com/puppies

Graffiti Art: http://photobucket.com/Graffiti_art

Black and White: http://photobucket.com/black_white

FotoFlexer Experts (people who use the built-in image editing on Photobucket): http://photobucket.com/fotoflexer

Baseball Fans: http://photobucket.com/baseballfans

Weddings: http://photobucket.com/weddings

It's easy to add your own stuff to the Group Albums. Just log in and upload.

And if you have a family reunion this summer, or big BBQ, or want to gather memories from friends over the school year -- tell everyone to put their pics into a Group Album of your own. If you want to keep it to yourself, you can password protect it.  Or if you want to share it with us and get it featured, click on the Tell Us About It in the upper left corner of the Group Albums main page.

Sending pics from your mobile phone to your album

People often ask us this, and so we thought we'd write a quick post. I's incredibly easy to take a pic with your mobile phone and have it appear instantly in your Photobucket album. Here's how:

Your Photobucket album has a unique email address associated with it. You can find that email address when you click on Account Options in the upper right corner of your album. It's a bit of a long email address, so make it a contact name in your phone book so you don't need to enter it every time.

Then, whenever you take a pic, send it by MMS email to that address. The pic will show up instantly in the album. It's really easy!

To see step by step instructions, take a look at this Tutorial in our Help system:

Get Photobucket on MTV! We need YOUR vote!

So you may remember that we ran an "MTV Movie Spoof" contest on Photobucket, in collaboration with MTV? One Photobucket nominee gets to go to the MTV Movie Awards, and potentially win all sorts of cool kudos, prizes, and stuff. 

Well, we got a nominee, and they did a spoof called "I Am Little." And now it's time TO VOTE!

The amateur auteur whose spoof collects the most votes on MTV will attend the awards and walk away with an MTV Movie Awards Golden Popcorn trophy of their very own!

We absolutely want that winner to be from Photobucket. Don't you?

So please help out this great movie director in the making, and vote.

Click here and scroll down to see the movie "I Am Little" movie on MTV's page. This is what it looks like on the page:

Best of luck Zan. We love you!
