Just a thought but how about support for IMG tags?

I see a few problems with that. Tell me if you think I'm over reacting.

Most people don't have an image host, and will want one.
Image hosts will have various reliability/performance, resulting slow or unreliable MemeStreams page load times.
Linking images instead of rehosting them is considered impolite. Recently Arianna Huffington linked an image off of redstate on her blog, so they modified it with a nasty message for her about creaming them with traffic.
People may decide to link commercial images. Linked sites will obviously know their images are being used on MemeStreams based on their logs. This may result in a lawyer nastygram.

I think it would be better to host images here. I have a near term plan to do that.

Aquire megabytes for image hosting with reputation capital?
