NEW YORK Fox Interactive Media has made a pair of acquisitions that deepen the company’s commitment to user-generated content.

As expected, the News Corp.-owned Web division has snatched up the photo-sharing site Photobucket.com, which reached 19 million unique users based on April 2007 figures from comScore Media Metrix, making it one of the larger remaining independent properties on the Internet.

In addition, Fox has landed Flektor, a complementary startup firm that produces several digital photo and video editing tools.
