Photobucket Ontela

Dear Photobucket,
Thank you soooo much for sending me an emaii on 5÷7÷14, titled, «Your Mom Called».
um…my mom’s dead.
The message in the body of the email was,
«She wants to know why she hasn’t heard from you in a while. Show her some Mother’s Day love by sharing your favorite photo together with the hashtag #CallYourMom to be entered to win a free Plus subscription for a year.»
um…I haven’t called cause I don’t have her number any more?! Could that be it? hmmmm.
At first I was only creeped out, and even mildly amused. I expected some type of reaction, retraction, or damage control. Nothing. People have posted about this on Facebook… still nothing. I know you (Photobucket) look at Facebook cause you keep posting pictures. WTH! Nothing on Twitter either, and it’s been 2 days since the email was sent out… enough time to react.
If I get an email before Father’s day saying to call him I’m really going to lose it!
Great marketing and PR. NOT.

Just another average online photo storage and sharing site. Free or paid membership are both options available to shutterbugs.

Very pleased with how fast I received prints I ordered from them. I use Photoshop to edit my photos and then transfer them to Photobucket where I make an album. They use Kodak processing and for $ 4.87 I received in three days, 16 very nice prints of my Sutro Bath ruins shoot.
They also have this fun animated decoration option where I’ve been able to make crazy photos of myself and friends! It’s free for the basics but one can upgrade the services for $ 24/​year. I’m not a professional so I’ll stick to the basics for now.
