This one is pretty sweet for anybody who’s trying to incorporate images into a website nowadays.  AllYouCanUpload is a site brought to you by CNet that does one thing and does it well. It hosts your images for you.  That’s it!

There’s no organization, no tags, no labels, no nothing.  You upload an image, it gives you the code to put in your web page or blog or wiki or whatever.  And that’s all.  It hosts the image for you.  Great for eBay, great for MySpace, great for blogs.  Couldn’t be simpler!  Normally I upload my images into flickr and use that to host my images, but depending on the image it could be against the user agreement.  Methinks I’m going to switch to using this.

The only possible negative is that if you upload an image and lose the URL, you’re out of luck.  Gotta upload the image again.  Heh, and that’s it for the ngatives!  Not so bad, eh?

UPDATE: In answer to Aaron’s comment, no there’s no bandwidth cap nor is there an upload limit!  Can’t beat that, eh?

Sounds sweet, but does it have a bandwidth cap like PhotoBucket.com? If so, then a high traffic day could break your image links for the day, week, month, or whatever time they specify.

Steve,

I took a look at this site and can’t get grip on what they are offering. Take a look at this page http://daily.webshots.com/signup. Then click on the “and more” link. The bais gives you 5 downloads a day and a total of 240 photos of storage.

My question is (and maybe I’ll try it later) if I create an account, post an image, create a link in my blog, will only the first 5 users to my blog see the image?

WHat you’re looking at is Webshots. And I think you’re dead on with what you’re talking about. However, that’s not what I’m refering to with this post. The free service doesn’t allow you to store your photos per se, nor does it allow you to organize them, tag them or label them. It allows you to upload a photo and gives you a direct link to paste into your site. That’s it. You can’t do any more than that. So you can use it to host a single image, totally free, to put into your blog posts. That’s what I did for my last few posts including the screenshot in this one.

Webshots, just to clarify, is CNet’s photo storage app, like Flickr. It does a whole lot more than AllYouCanUpload, which is all well and good if that’s what you’re looking for. But if you aren’t, then AllYouCanUpload is great for hosting those images you’ll be using once and don’t necessarily need to store in your Flickr account!
