Photobucket CEO Tom Munro Interview with Robert Scoble

Hey Photobucket fans,

Check out this great video of Robert Scoble (@scobleizer on Twitter), talking with our very own CEO of  Photobucket, Tom Munro (@tamunro on Twitter) about Photobucket!

 

Here's some highlights for you busy folks:

• Photobucket hosts approximately nine billion photos & videos!
• We serve over three, sometimes four bilion images across the web to about 2.5 million different web sites on a daily basis.
• With that capacity and scalability, Photobucket was an obvious choice for Twitter's photo service.
• Photobucket serves about 25 million photos from mobile alone every month.
• During our July survey, with 2,500 respondents, half of you who responded said you take video on their mobile devices at least once a week, and our trends show even more than that.
• Our new mobile app, Snapbucket allows you to keep your original photo, so you have permanence along with fun filters & effects.
• We're planning on a new release of Snapbucket that will incorporate social aspects as well as video filters & effects.

Thanks to all of you who help make Photobucket great!
