Hello,
I share photos and images on mediafire.com and http://www.isphotobomb.com ,
but I prefer this last because is cool and more simple.

In my opinion it's not the best idea to host the images or videos somewhere else… What's my work should stay on my site. Of course, plenty of idiots will copy things (OK, so just put a watermark saying "copyright yoursite.tld"), but if you're storing data on your server (or shared hosting), it gives your site weight… At least in terms of rankings. Your site will be treated better in Google if it contains thousands of pictures, hundreds of videos and eventually some audio files.

Just my opinion… you don't have to agree.

Dang, more and more of these pic uploading sites are here. I saw the review of a different one on John Chow's and it's similar to this with no ads.

Gofree: WLW, MarsEdit and others do allow you to use FTP. Agreed. As does all of the default interfaces for WordPress, MovableType, etc. let you work in a similarly transparent way with HTTP uploads. So it isn't necessary from a practical standpoint just as a writer.

That being said, they also let you post images form a URL, at least I think all of the above do, I know WordPress does, and some find that even easier. Imgur lets you upload image and get URL pretty easy, without any hosting or bandwidth costs.

Depends on what the person finds simplest.

That being said, I don't see how an FTP service could be implemented, the reason being Imgur, like most other "no account" image hosts, changes the file name after upload and that prevents such programs from being able to get the full URL from the uploaded folder.

Still, something to consider and work on if it can be done.

Why blogmaster like to upload the images to their own hosting? It is because most of them are using clients like Windows LiveWriter to write their articles, and with ftp setting, the images are easily hosted.

imgur, in order to beat that, it has to provide this ftp function or I wonder how it will compete with ImageMagic, Photobucket, etc.

Hope to see this feature somewhere sometimes
