Simple image hosting alternative to PhotoBucket, others

If you're tired of PhotoBucket, Flickr or one of those "fancy" image hosting services and just want something dead simple, check out the following places:

• http://postimage.org/

Just select the image you want to upload and hit submit. The image will upload and spit back to you a web address for it. Done. No signing up for anything or photo albums or any crap. Just straight file upload and save. Make sure you copy the "Direct Link" web address they give you.

One nice feature too is you can specify a width to resize when you upload. So if you have an image that you know is too big for the forum (600 wide) you can have it resize to 600 for you and the resulting image will fit perfectly.

I'm going to start using this for one-off image uploads that I need for forum or whatever else. I love that it doesn't require me to register for an account or anything. Light on ads and otherwise just the basics.

Although worth noting that since this is super basic, free and with no account, it means that web site and your images could disappear one day without any warning. So probably not a good idea to host your entire collection but good one-timers.
