Description of a web service less than a year old. Notable? --Ianb 01:31, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * I know that a lot of people on Fark use ImageShack for image hosting. Couldn't tell ya more than that. Rhymeless 01:40, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep: It's a free image hosting service. It's very notable, used a lot on discussion forums where they post photographs. Apart from that it seems to be a very good service (not very relevant, I know). It has a Google PageRank value of 5(/10), en.wikipedia.org has 8(/10). Did you really research this before submitting or just post on vfd to find out if its notable? --Dittaeva 19:38, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * comment: enough not to be sure whether this is another step on Wikipedia's slippery slope to becoming a self-service DMOZ. It does get a lot of hits (57,000), but is relatively new and I've never heard of it, despite having interests in that kind of area. Regarding page rank - hadn't occurred to me to look (not being a IE user); are there any guidelines on this? Page rank is logarithmic, so 8 is probably several orders of magnitude greater than 5. (FWIW I run one site with PR5 which I don't consider worth its own article). --Ianb 20:32, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Your assumptions about pagerank are probably true, but you should also look up the favourable Alexa comparison between imageshack and wikipedia. --Dittaeva 20:56, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
