Photobucket picture hosting changes

I just signed up for a free trial to smugmug. It looks like it would cost $4.00 per month, but it looks like it's pretty easy to use. Here's a pic I took on a recent trip to Wisconsin. Hope it shows up.

In out sit around post ride/dinner discussion last night, it was opined that the other photo hosting sites will follow photobucket in charging for 3rd party picture posting eventually ( offroad figured Facebook would as well now that they have 1.4 billion people hooked)

I would opine that, while they all may very well charge to host photos on their sites, it is less likely that they will charge for embedding photos into blogs/forums/Amazon/EBay, etc. since there is no apparent cost to them for doing this 3rd party hosting.
