Pixsy’s Proprietary Media Search Platform will index thumbnails of Photobucket’s extensive collection of videos and images. Photobucket hosts more than 2.5 billion photos with 7.5 million photos and 50,000 videos being uploaded daily. Over 25 million searches are conducted on Photobucket every day, with users locating digital media content and sharing it with over 300, 000 Web sites.

"With the meteoric rise in social media and the exponential daily growth in digital content, we see tremendous importance in media search. It's great that Pixsy is also indexing Photobucket into their excellent search technology to provide the ability to organize and distribute images and videos to a broader global audience," said Peter Pham, VP of Business Development for Photobucket.

“We’re big fans of social media and believe that consumers and web publishers should have access to all of the media content available on the Internet.
