Here's my entry. https://github.com/ryancdotorg/dnsstore
A similar service is here: http://www.cambus.net/interesting-dns-hacks/ Interesting about DNS stores is they save a round trip, so it's not just a weird abuse of the protocol to store content, it's also potentially a performance optimisation.
If this idea appeals to you, you may also be interested in the 2009 paper Graffiti Networks: A Subversive, Internet-Scale File Sharing Model [0] by Andrew Pavlo. tl;dr: the researchers discovered that MediaWiki instances were good soft targets.

The mini-saga embedded in the presentation was pretty funny > Concluding Remarks > Off probation at the end of this semester!

And almost every provider around the world provides a free 'CDN'. It's win-win!
Half-DNS
I call it the CDNS :)
There should be a contest: Who can find the most implausible data storage medium? (Rated according to various criteria such as ingenuity, reliability, max. data read/write rates, latency, storage size, costs…)
A stenographed image embedded in a Word document, printed and faxed to a document archive that scans and digitizes it, embeds the scan in a PDF, and emails it back to you.

To get reliable and free storage, photo hosting is usually the easiest way. Flickr offers 1TB, picasa/g+ offers unlimited storage with some hidden quoats. Everything that allows lossless photos lets you store arbitrary data. Depending on how careful you wanna be you can store hundreds of GBs per account. Email attachments used to be a great way a while ago but nowadays using multiple gdrive/dropbox/onedrive accounts…
Yeah, I wrote something that stores data to Flickr last summer: https://github.com/namwen/hoardr . I kind of had a reason but it was more for the enjoyment of getting it to work.
