Photo sharing technique #74: Im a huge photo sharer, i like taking pictures of myself, my cats, my cooking creations and just share the hell out of it...pictures enhance a story.
We all know that we have photo limits on SW (around 250 or so) and sometimes it breaks my heart coming across a story where i had to delete a picture thus breaking a narrative.
What I usually do now for general pics is go to a photo upload site (ie: postimage.org), upload those images then use the image url and share it that way...this doesnt fill your photo albums and i feel gives you more control for those posts that need a pic.


Now for personal pics, i do recommend using your own photo album. You can delete those on a whim (especially if they are embarrassing). I dont think its possible to delete a photo from last week if you used postimage, so dont upload something dumb where you'll most likely regret it next week. Also, Keep in mind, that google crawls thousands of websites a day and most likely..whatever picture you shared here or somewhere else will end up in googles archives.

@JarJarBoom: almost anything you post online can end up in search results.

@JarJarBoom: yes, I know. You can't open it anymore, but the summary still shows up. You can request removal from Google, but that has to been done for each page and image separately.
So that's how to post dirty pics and then erase them quickly, thanks!
