I have a lot of photos I'd like to send to family. Normally I'd send it in a .zip file, but they aren't too technically inclined. Are there any web applications where I can upload a lot of pictures that they can easily browse? Bonus if the user can download the photos/album with easy-to-follow instructions on how to do so. |

www.dropbox.com! It can't be easier, no need to mess around with proprietary photo albums. It can be installed with a few clicks (same for registration), is cross-plattform (Windows, Mac, Linux) and after all it's just a folder on your file system that is kept in sync with an online folder. Of course that folder can be shared with others... |

I'd use Picasa. Get the client, add your pics and upload to one or more Picasa web albums. You can make the album(s) private to hide them from everyone apart from specific people you choose to share them with. You could probably use Flickr in a similar way but I've only used Google's Picasa so I'm recommending that. |

Picasa, Flickr, the new one min.us, all of them do that. The best one for private sharing by email, though, is Flickr. |

You could create an album on Facebook. They don't have to sign up to be able to view it. At the bottom of every album it states:
where the "Share this..." is a mail to link. They won't be able to download the photos easily though. You can make the album private by selecting the "Edit album info" link and then making it visible only to specific people on Facebook. Other photo sharing sites (Picassa, Photo Bucket, Imagur etc.) are also available. |
