If you are a user of Twitter, you would have heard of this service named yFrog. It is one of the numerous web services which provided free image hosting for sharing through Twitter.
Then Twitter launched their own official photo sharing product and most of us switched to it. Twitter even removed all third party services from their own official apps (Except for TweetDeck).
But a lot of third party Twitter clients still use services like Twitpic and yFrog. Twitpic is largely tolerable but yFrog has been horrible since the beginning.
When you load an image page on yFrog, the website code ensures that the image itself loads in the very end. You get to see their layout full of ads and then after a couple of seconds, the image appears.
If that was not bad enough, I got this today:
You see? A transitional page before you can access the image. How creative!
I really wish third party apps like MetroTwit, Carbon and Falcon Pro would just remove yFrog as one of the supported third party image sharing services!
