One comment about imgur: it's associated with the reddit website which is pretty much no-holds-barred internet anarchy. I usually exit the imgur landing page right away...some content is distracting and amusing and some is...weird.
I have my imgur account set to keep my posts private but the neat thing is that direct links to the images work publicly.

Then I switched to imgur. Nice thing about imgur is that it renames your files and strips EXIF metadata automatically. Downside is that I must resize offline before uploading.

NOTE - I have not used imgur.com - i'm just passing this information along since folks are successfully using this to imbed pictures in there forum posts. It is a free site, (for now anyway).
