The centralizing problem with image hosts

too many image picture hosts

Hey! Where are my images now? Do you ever get the feeling the files you upload on the internet get lost sometimes?

Take for example, your pictures. A few years back, it seemed like everyone had their pictures uploaded on photobucket. These days, they’re either on flickr or facebook’s picture albums. In a few years further, who knows where you will be hosting your pictures. Worse yet, will you remember where all your pictures are? Because I won’t. Of course, this won’t be a concern to you if you are those kinds of people who spend their weekends managing and organizing your pictures online, moving them from one image host to another, but for the majority of us out there - we have no interest in wasting our time.

First Post Feels Like Being on Stage

I guess writing your first blog entry is a bit like starting a presentation. As you step up the stage and realize how many strangers there are in the audience, your heart is pounding and your hands get a bit sweaty. You swallow the remaining saliva in your mouth to prevent any accidental mispronunciation of your first words. Then, your mouth widens and you say those first few words you have planned before even getting on stage…. That's a bit how I feel right now (minus the nervous breakdown symptoms).

I feel like I am speaking to a blank audience, an audience of strangers. An audience that may or may not be there and may or may not even care about what I have to say… Oh well, I have made my first post! And that's all there is to it.

That was easy :) easy button
