Google has opened a service recently called Google pages that allows google users to create their own web pages for free hosted by Google.
if you upload an SVG image the dialog warns you that the image type that you just uploaded (SVG) is not supported by most browsers. This is not true, SVG is supported by FireFox. Opera, Konqueror, Safari, Amaya, and with Adobe plugin support, IE.
Project: Update the Google Pages interface to handle SVG and allow SVG images in Google Page content.
All you can really do is file a request through standard channels and encourage other users to do so. Writing about it in your jounal if have one, would be a good way to draw attention to this.
Also can Picasa preview SVG Images? (I assume it doesn't and hasn't changed substantially since I last saw it, it is intended more for photos than as a general purpose image viewer after all.)

I've made the SVG working group aware, Chris has contacted Google and they say they are looking into it, I've posted a SoC request with Google and suggested it here.
Anything anyone can do to make Google want to scratch that itch will help. It isn't a very difficult thing for them to do, but they have many things to do I'm sure, so the more places they hear about it from the more likely it is to get done.
Then we can post SVG on Google Pages.
Next...
