Free image hosting
There are plenty of free image hosts* out there. Photobucket and Flickr, are easy. Both are free but require you to sign up. What if you just want to post the occasional image, or, don't want a plethora of random images cluttering up your Flickr stream or Zooomr collection?
I have Flickr, Zooomr, and a Photobucket account, but when I want to post a one time photo or just don't want that particular one in my photo collection or sucking up space in Picasa, I use one of two alternatives (lately).
Allyoucanupload.com* was the best one but has since become part of WebShots (which is probably good too but requires signing up). So for me, for now, that leaves ImageShack, and Tinypic.
ImageShack (you can sign up it but it's not necessary) seems to be available only "sporadically" and Tinypic gets bonus points because it also allows video. I always wonder how these sites can afford to host so many images for free. But I have adblock (Firefox add-on) so I don't see any ads. Maybe they're overloaded and I don't see it.
