Image Hosting startup w/ preview pics ..what are the top providers missing?

Hi everyone,

I will be launching my image hosting service shortly, alpha version this week, and was wondering what everyones opinion is on the current image hosting providers out there. What are the top sites like photobucket, imageshack others missing that would attract users to a new system.

Personally, I'm not that impressed with what's out there.

Some featores of my system at launch:

- gmail like user interface, pure javascript with xmlhttp ..no refreshing
- traditional single upload or multi-image upload via Flash
- windows like folder navigation
- multiple view options eg. thumbnail, list or links view


Planned for the near future:

- authentication options from folder down to individual images
- image editing eg. resizing, cropping, watermarking, optimizing...
- public image rating, comments ...blog like

..lots of other ideas


I'm writing the system to be 100% compatible with IE6+ and FF, I know I will be excluding a small percenteage of users but when you're writing the whole UI in javascript its very complicated to support a wide range of browsers.

Here are some preview pics of my system:
