My Gift to Reddit: I created an image hosting service that doesn't suck. What do you think? : reddit.com

Have had a good experience with imgur so far. Not moving till it becomes a PITA

Min.us not supported on Opera. Doesn't encourage me to use them either. Good

strange. it was fine when i checked. anyways, it should work fine. the point of me mentioning minus here was pretty simple. minus is pretty cool for sharing a gallery with friends and relatives. it is not really designed for hotlinking here. in fact they do not give out embed codes. you do get a direct link to image that can be embedded manually. but if you have a bunch of images that you want to share, minus is pretty cool. from what i read from their FAQs... minus allows 7MB image files. imgur free accounts have a 1MB limit. minus claims that images would remain hosted for ever (Doh). imgur removes them after three months (of no hits).

imgur too has an 'album' kinda thing, where you can categorise multiple images into one. Of course, the option is available only when you upload since there is no account concept.

well yeah. imgur is more of an old fashioned service. min.us is sort of a HTML5 showcase.

also noticed that using drag and drop... imgur uploads multiple images together. which is nice.

i am not a fan of drag and drop as it requires me to unmaximize the window. but windows 7 shake feature to minimize all other windows is helping.

 

[agantuk]

Shake feature?

Ha. Very interesting feature. Don't know if I need it though
