There is no doubt that image hosts these days are coming a dime a dozen. Fumpr is yet another service you can add to that ever growing list of free image hosting providers, and they cut out all the details, fuss and more. You have an upload button, and a “browse to my file” box. That is it.. well, OK they have a huge logo too.
As you can see, after you have uploaded your image you can share the URL with friends, download, embed it into a web page of your own or grab the forum ready code. Might also want to check out their sister service too, Fix Up My Pic.

Here is a question I wanted to see answered on Plurk and thus far, there have been a lot of good suggestions. So who is your web host?
Need more? Check out the Plurk page to see if anymore suggestions have been added (or you can add your own!).

I’ve got a lot of positive and negative feedback on this week’s edition of the Web Hosting Show podcast. The most interesting of the bunch is the debate over how usual “green” hosting really is. I know some hosts out there really want to do better by the environment, and feel like this is helping. After reviewing all the facts though I still feel like it is a three card monte-like scam. Here is a view from the other side of the fence from Jen L, one of the debaters…
We do it, and if it’s a scam, then so is my electric company regulated and overseen by the government.
At my home, I have the option to pay a premium for renewable energy, and I have lots of official stuff on my bill showing the higher price I pay with the guarantees that money got fed into the grid. My electric company releases the energy I pay for into the grid - they have to, or its illegal. Are the zaps coming into my house guaranteed to be clean?
No. Energy delivery is communal - but the higher premium I pay puts more clean energy into the grid that would not otherwise get there. If enough people chose to pay for the higher premium, a higher percentage of energy in the grid would be renewable. Does it come with the same ego boost as solar panels on the top of my house? No. Does it ensure that less pollution comes from me because I pay more than everyone else? Yes. It makes a difference.
It’s the same concept. Green Tags enable people that want to buy renewable energy but who don’t have it directly available to them to do so. If *everyone* did it no matter where they were, we could all be green in a short amount of time.
If you wonder if its a scam, ask to see the certificates that were issued (as we all get certificates saying precisely what we bought), and the report as to how they arrived at how much to offset. If they can’t give it to you, then yes, possibly, it’s a scam.
If they *can*, the place you are hosting is paying for their energy *twice*, once to keep the power on, and again in the same amount to feed that energy they used back into the grid as green energy so someone else doesn’t have to use dirty energy.
How someone voluntarily choosing to pay for their electricity twice can be considered “a scam” is beyond me.
Check out podcast 151 for yourself and join the debate. Is green hosting good or just another sales gimmick to get you in the door?

It is always a good sign when a web site has a name you could use as a way to describe it. You know, such as grab me a Pop-tart instead of grab me a toaster pastry. To add to that list, we have File Qube. I am sure it is these guys dream to have you one day say, “Hey go stick that in your File Qube” and after checking it out, you might just be doing that in the near future.
File Qube is a free online storage spot that allows you to upload your files and share them with your friends, family and other random strangers. Your max filesize per upload is 150 MB and if you sign up they bump it up to 500 MB. Also after signing up you get 2 GB of disk space to use for all of your uploads.
Check out some of the other features and then sign up to give it a shot.
