If there is a viral video on the Internet, you know it's on YouTube. You can search for it, find it, see the view count, and then take that link and share it with whomever you want. That's what we are doing for images.
We're not going the photography route. I think there is a real distinction between photos and images, and Flickr is for photos, and Instagram is for photos. You wouldn't put a filter on a meme; you'd put a filter on top of a photo that came from your camera.
We want people on the Internet to go to Imgur for their viral image fix. And what's so awesome about images vs. videos is that instant gratification.
People can express themselves better with images than just text, so they communicate more this way.
We try hard to provide the best user experience possible, and that means the best ads possible, so we work with the brands to come up with the best images.
We're trying to be a content destination for viral images and to be an entertainment destination in general.
Imgur is all about images, some of which may be photos but don't have to be.
We want to be like a YouTube for viral images.
Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.
Once the object has been constructed, I have a tendency to discover in it, transformed and displaced, images, impressions, facts which have deeply moved me.
