Today we review 7 up and coming image sites. Will these sites reign as new alternatives to Photobucket, Imageshack, and tinypic? Lets find out!

Photolinko

The site is a bit cluttered with Ads, but is pretty nice and easy to upload. The fun stops here once the image linking codes are shown. Each image linking code has a direct link back to photolinko, including a text link below the image. Its pretty easy to remove it out, but for people who don’t know how to, they’ll have to deal with it. The site has linking codes for Myspace, Forums, and HTML. [photolinko]

JPEGR

One of the few black interfaces to upload images. Its very clean and tidy. Uploading images are pretty fast, sometimes too fast that the image shows itself as a red box because it hasn’t been processed yet. After a few seconds you can go to the direct link of the image and it will load correctly. Linking codes are clean and nice. The site has linking fodes for HTML, and Forums. [jpegr]

img.la

img.la reminds me of the heiress Paris Hilton. With its sleek and sexy design, the forms move up and down moothly allowing you to upload your image and read more information while its being processed. Unfortunately, just like Paris Hilton, the site was too stuck up that it didn’t want to give us the linking codes to any image and failed to show us where the image uploaded to. This site has failed due to bugs. [img.la]

The site was pretty simple, it had some ads though. There are 5 forms to upload images. The linking codes were only to a direct link, it didn’t have any other options. [thumbq]

xmgimage

You have to sign up inorder to use this site. Which is unfortunate to people who want a quick linking code. The site also provides a nice image editing tool but without any undo options for some strange reason. Linking codes can be directly inserted in your myspace by login information (Web Apps insists that you don’t give any website your Myspace Login Information). Instead you can direct link, or choose Friendster or Facebook share. [xmgimage]

imagehigh

Imagehigh has a large form to upload as many images as you want as long as you abide to the terms of service. They even put a scare tactic saying your IP has been logged for who knows what.. Anyways as we were trying to upload the image, it redirected us to a blank page and we don’t know where our images went. This site has failed due to bugs. [imagehigh]

bayimg

bayimg is the Pirate Bay’s image hosting site, promissing that images won’t go down with DMCA notices unless they are "illegal". Bayimg requires every image have a removal code. You can also upload images within a zip file as an album. Direct linking isn’t shown after you upload the image, you’ll have to right click and select properties to see the direct linking URL.
