With more and more of user's content on the web, we decided it should be far easier for users to work with that content on websites. Hope you like it! It's rough, but we wanted to get feedback as we work on it.

It sounds like Imgur with an Aviary plug in attatched to it. The only additional places you're pulling from are dropbox and facebook. Do you have plans to pull from more locations? Also, do you have plans to allow website owners to integrate this with their own site (much like Aviary allows you to integrate the editor you're using)?

  Yup, we're planning on supporting a whole bunch, including fancier things like gmail attachments, evernote, etc. Are their clients you'd like? And yeah, you can use it on your site right now. Grab a key and you're good to go

    Hmmm, I'd want a client capable of seeking out images stored as a background image or underneath a invisible div that some site owners use to protect their image. But that's probably impossible.

      Interesting, what uses were you thinking of?

        Well one case would be to have a bookmarklet that lets you upload from any webpage. As a site owner, not having to write yet another bookmarklet would be great.

    I've wanted a service like this for a while but haven't had time to make it. A few other ways you could get photos from users: - get a picture from their phone. This seems really important and useful, but I'm not sure the best way to do this. Ideas: 1) let them email it from their phone to a special email address 2) give them a url that takes them to a site that opens up an "upload" dialog Both of these my be accomplishable w/ a QR code - let them paste in a URL of an image. I've used embed.ly for this. It will take all sort of urls: plain images (rare for non-technical users), Flickr URLs, etc
