a freebie from ClifNotes, Feb 2006
This contest is over
Two years ago, I started up a blog site to document my adventures in freeware. I soon discovered that my blog host did not allow any local storage of images. That was bad, because I knew that in order for me to use images on a website, the images had to be stored somewhere out on the net that everyone could access. Images can be the difference between a boring website and an exciting web experience.
What was I going to do?
I was fairly new to web publishing, but I had heard there were places on the net that would store images for you so that you could display them on a website. Finally, I found Photobucket's image hosting service. The best part was that they also offered free accounts and I've been using their service ever since.
Photobucket is a free, photo and image hosting service that empowers individuals to publish the contents of their digital life. Photobucket was recently named the Fastest Growing Site of 2005 by Nielsen//NetRatings and is now the leading image hosting, sharing, and publishing site in the world. They have over 11 Million registered users and are now growing by over 1.2 Million users per month.
Photobucket users are able link their images in any of their Blogs, Auctions, Discussion Forums, Albums, Emails, in personalized Photobucket albums, and in other unique ways that the Photobucket service comes up with every day.
I recently talked to the nice folks at Photobucket, and they agreed to let me give away a one year Premium account. The Photobucket Premium account allows you to upload up to 1 Gigabyte of photos and images, and would normally cost you $25.
Just email me a short letter telling me why you want a free Premium Photobucket account and in about two weeks I'll announce the winner.
Anyone can sign up for a standard free Photobucket account that allows you to store hundreds of photos. Go to Photobucket now for a free account or to learn more about this great free service.
