Target, Photobucket partner for photo services

MINNEAPOLIS — Target and Photobucket, the leading stand-alone photo and video sharing site, announced an agreement that offers expanded online photo services for Target guests and new in-store print options for Photobucket users.

After creating a free account on Photobucket, users can upload and organize their photos, edit their images and order prints for pickup — in about an hour — at most Target stores nationwide. Photobucket also enables users to organize videos; create slideshows and group albums; customize unique photo gifts; and share photos with friends and family through e-mail, IM, social networks, blogs or mobile phones.

"Photobucket has emerged as a leader in online photo and video sharing," said Mark Schindele, senior vice president, Target. "The site has an active community of more than 22 million monthly visitors in the U.S. Through this collaboration, our guests can now combine Photobucket's creative tools with the convenience and quality they have come to expect from Target Photo."
