SimpleBucket: Real Simple Photo Hosting
SimpleBucket is a promising new photo sharing site that has just emerged from a complete redesign and rebuild. The service is very promising, and offers a lot of nice features that might make it a big player in the days to come.
SimpleBucket's tagline reads "Real Simple Photo Hosting," and it shows. First off, SimpleBucket does not require registration. As in at all. Simply enter in any email address, select a photo (or number of photos) to upload, and away you go. HTML code for embedding your photo, a link to the photo page, and a link to the photo itself are all instantly generated.
Gallery: SimpleBucket
If you worry that lack of registration means lack of options and customizability, don't. Each upload sends an email to the address you supplied with a link to the photo administrator page. That page will allow you to do a number of things:
SimpleBucket offers dead-easy sharing. You can share a photo via email, and SimpleBucket also has hooks into MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, and more.
One of SimpleBucket's nicer features is the ability to share a "photo widget"; that is, a photo complete with any notes that you (or other users) have added. This brings an exciting new level of interactivity to photos on the web.
While the uploading can use some streamlining (you're limited to 5 photos at a time, and you add photos by using an archaic Browse menu), the service itself is very fine.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
