Be first to sign up for Picasa Web Albums by Google.
Just pick a bunch of your photos from Picasa and upload them into a web album in a couple of clicks. Once they’re online, it’s super-easy to share them – click the “Share†button from anywhere on the site or, just email friends the URL for your public gallery.
If you have never heard of Picasa, here's what Google said about it:
... it’s Google’s free desktop photo management software. Picasa is a quick download that makes it easy for people to organize and edit their pictures using something that’s simple and clutter-free. It’s all about the photos.
You might want to take a look at the sample album before you sign up.
Note that this is also a limited test, so you will have to wait for Google's reply after you submitted your email to them. I suppose this is Google's solution to prevent server load problems faced by other previous projects such as Google Analytics.
Remember to send me your Picasa Web Albums link after you signed up!
