It doesn't bother you that photo-sharing web sites don't use the same simple organization scheme you use locally, but require you to create albums, etc.?
Generally, photos are taken of an event and on a particular day. You may have multiple events in the same day, so you can further nest by time as well. But that's as far as an average user go.
It should be user's own responsibility to manage their naming schemes and sorting. You can then upload folders to any web service (or don't even bother if you use Sugar Sync or Dropbox etc).
