IMgur

In 2009, Alan Schaaf built Imgur in his dorm room at Ohio University. The "easiest way to discover and enjoy the magic of the internet" is how it bills itself. It has been able to amass a substantial following and forge a fervent global user community through the usage of GIFs and visual tales. Imgur provides paid advertising opportunities, just like other community-based platforms.
