I think the first name is better, because it relates to the job the
program does, so users will remember it. "larsuploader" has nothing
to do with the job, so it is an arbitrary obstacle to memory. I can't
see that it does any good.

Each site will be different, so there is no benefit in implementing
them together.
We could provide an overall interface called 'upload-image'
which would ask you which site and then call its uploader.
