idea: Bit.ly for images

idea
Date: 2013-08-25

i'd like to find a photo on the web, slightly modify it, and have it accessible at a hosted link of my choosing. for example. there is a cool image at , but it's 800px wide and 300px tall and i just want to include a smaller cropped version, a quick peek, at the image from my blog, so i can link to their blog.
so, i copy the image URL into a web form, submit it, and i am presented with a screen to resize and slightly modify the photo. i can enter the dimensions that i am shooting for, or constrain the image proportions and scale it down linearly.

From any BSV wallet

Scan the QR code with your wallet's camera, or copy the address.
