MySpace To Buy Photobucket For $300 Million

May 8, 2007 at 1:03pm ET by Barry Schwartz

Valleywag broke the news that MySpace would be acquiring Photobucket for about $300 million.

Many blogs are discussing that the purchase price was a steal in comparison to Google’s purchase of YouTube. Techcrunch also looks at the overlap of MySpace users and Photobucket users, saying there is “nearly 100% overlap in users.”
