"What are Gmail pictures?
Gmail pictures allow you to put a face to a name, by showing user-selected pictures when you roll over a name in your inbox, Contacts, or Quick Contacts list. You can choose your own photo for yourself and for your contacts, suggest a photo for a contact to use, or see what your friends have selected for themselves.
Gmail pictures can be configured to show to all users who you email or who email you, or they can be limited to only those users who are able see when you're online. You can see a full list of users who can see your online status from the All Contacts tab of your Contacts page – they'll be listed with a colored ball next to their name. "
Kinda of neat i guess.

Sounds like a nice idea, too bad I get a "Document Not Found" for that URL...
Did they mention when this feature is rolled out? http://mail.google.com/mail/help/intl/en-GB/whatsnew.html doesn't mention this feature at all.

@tinyvillager: Thanks for the tip!
@brotherS: the link works for me!
It's already active, just go to your contacts, edit one of them, and you'll see the "add picture" option there ;)
housetier:
I don't understand how it works though. Does it send the picture with every mail? How does the recipient get ahold of my picture?
tinyvillager:
I'm guessing if you hover your cursor over a contacts name an image will appear,the other party (contact)
has to of uploaded an image,their basically over grown avatars.(i rarely use the web mail part of gmail,so don't quote me on this i use pop)
Just a guess,but i'm betting this will bleed into the features of google talk as well.
On a side note Google Pack dropped trillian from the pack,or maybe trillian dropped google...either way
their no longer in bed together.
If your using Opera,chances are it's not working cause google services and Opera don't get along very well.
