Beta Beat: Aperture2Gmail 0.8
If you love Aperture (or iPhoto) like we do, then you know that there are some nice plug-ins that allow you to export pictures to differing photo sites (i.e. Flickr, etc.). However, if you use Gmail's web based e-mail service, then you are out of luck ... until now! Aperture2Gmail (or iPhoto2Gmail) allows you to export your photos in a new e-mail directly to Gmail. You can also resize on-the-fly, just like you can in Mail.app.
So, no more exporting from Aperture or iPhoto and uploading to Gmail one by one. Aperture2Gmail and iPhoto2Gmail is available from the developer's website as donationware.

Why wouldn't you just use your Gmail account in Mail.app? That seems like an even easier solution, especially given the recently added IMAP support from Google, there's no reason not to!

I, like Chris' wife, really like the web interface (and the notifier), as it works the same no matter if I'm on one of my macs or my pc.

Some people (like my wife) prefer using the Gmail web interface all the time. This should work nicely for her.

Aren't there plug-in's for both iPhoto and Aperture that will upload directly to Flickr? So why have the middle man? Or are they referring to the fact that some plug-ins that do this functionality cost money whereas this is "donationware." I'm kind of confused why anyone would want to go this route, is there an advantage to uploading via: email?

I think Jonathan that what the author meant is that there are good plug ins for uploading to photo sites (and then should have said "and other places like online portfolios, ftp sites, stock agencies, and more") but there was no gmail tool before now.
