haven contacted me about updating that post, but it just looks like it needs an edit to include imgur and saying it is basically the same process.
It is largely the same if you register an account at imgur and upload an image file from a folder on your computer, but imgur has 3 features which don't need either of those.
1) You don't need an account. Not sure why you thought one was needed, but most times I upload a picture, I do it while not logged in to my account.
2) You can upload from images found on a web page using a URL without saving the image on your computer first.
3) You can upload from your computer's clipboard without saving to an image file on your computer first.
Not needing to sign in to an account, and not needing to save as a local file first does make imgur better than other sites (unless they have changed since I last looked at them)
