somebody just doesn't get it

first the preamble - google owns blogger (this free blog hosting service)... google bought picasa, a company with an image hosting service and p2p software to allow you to share images, add them to your blog, etc...

but come on... installing p2p software in order to add pictures to a blog?

these folks have much simpler solution... a simple web page for uploading pictures that you can direct link to or whatever you want (they even provide you with the code for the most common types of image linking)... see my previous entry for an example...

ImageShack (TM) - Hosting

the only downside i can see is the problem of organizing your images... no folders, no way to rename the files, just a flat list of numbered filenames... still quite usable, though... this is the kind of simplicity an image hosting service should have...

and y'know what? that's just one of many free, simple, web based image hosting services... check out this directory of free image hosts with descriptions and reviews...
