It's well known that facebook never deletes anything. At most, the reference to the image gets removed from their database. Wouldn't the actual image url last forever, or years at least? Should have enormous bandwidth too. There has to be a way to exploit this.

Free image hosting for your high traffic websites ... ftw

by that, I mean your website background images/logo images/large size, slow loading images ... I am almost sure facebook does it better than my shared hosting space would ... right?

That's what I'm thinking. The next time I submit something that could blow up to reddit/digg/etc, all images will be hosted by facebook. Hopefully my host can at least serve the html and ads without crashing.

No, during high traffic times, facebook is slow as fuck.
