I took this paid post for two reasons. First, the pay was good. Second, I actually have something I want to share. The site is cool enough that I might have put it in my quicklinks, but why do that when I can get paid $15 for it instead?
The site in question is Image Hosting Directory. They are doing something that I tried to do over at Listible, but they’re actually making a full-fledged site out of it. Everybody knows Photobucket and Flickr are the heavyweights in this market, but there are a lot of other image hosting sites out there. Some of them don’t have very intuitive URLs, but they’re a good place to post random stuff. The Image Hosting Directory, in addition to listing the Photobucket clones, also has sections for paid hosts (which typically have more features), hosts that let you manipulate your image (ie, resizing), and scripts that let you host your own images. But I think the best part of the site is the adult image host category. A couple of months ago, somebody posted on the adult message board I frequent asking about a place to post adult images. It seems that most of the free places have a line in their TOS about not posting pornography, but there are a couple of image hosts out there that welcome it.
My only suggestion for improving the Image Hosting Directory would be to list features in the descriptions. If I’m looking for a site that allows remote hotlinking, for example, it would be nice to see that in the directory before having to go to the actual site and read their terms.
