"The company was started in Athens, Ohio as Alan Schaaf's side project as he attended Ohio University for computer science. The service, which the creator describes as "an image hosting service that doesn't suck", was created as a response to the usability problems encountered in similar services. Originally designed as a gift to the online community of Reddit, it took off almost instantly, jumping from a thousand hits per day to a million total page views in the first five months. The website became widely recognized following its rise to popularity on social newswebsites such as Reddit and Digg."

I just think it's funny that someone basically created this massive website cause there was nothing else and now everyone does!
