Acobox
What imagine hosting services such as flickr, imageshack, photobucket failed to do, or overlooked to do, acobox.com is doing it! It’s both the stock photo alternative as well as image manager that lets you full control over the image you host. Usually when a blogger writes a blog posts, he goes to the stock photo sites and buys an image that match the theme of the post and then hosts it on the flickr or photobucket and then hotlinks to these images. Or heck he uploads to image uploading service such as imageshack and will be sorry to see the image no longer displays when all the available bandwidths are eaten up!
This where Acobox.com fills the void, by allowing the blogger to host the images and then allowing it to resize it! It also allows licensing of the images for the purpose of reuse by other bloggers which is a great idea. It had tags and others can comment on the picture and its kinda a social networking for bloggers who deal with image hosting!
Hosting blog photo is made so simple with acobox.com. It’s currently free and each image has to go through the approval process before one can start using it! One can hotlink to the images only before you know your image is good and 100% confident that it will get approved. The abuse of it will lead to your account being cancelled and you loosing all your precious images so play safe!
