I can't help but think of imgur, so the ability to create galleries would be nice. Uploading more than one image at a time. An API would be an excellent thing to have as well.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

yes i'm thinking on an API. As for galleries, there's Flickr, Picasa and so on, i don't know if it makes sense

It might at least make sense to group several images; if I'm trying to show someone a series of screenshots (e.g., "I click login, and then I see this, but then I click on the dancing banana, and suddenly this!") it would be easier to send a single url.

Provide a browser plugin/native app/something so that I can get screenshots onto a remote serve painlessly. I hate the whole printscreen-photoshop-paste-save-upload cycle.
