For those of you who have either wondered what to do with your public
keys or were frustrated with all the key-servers and lack of
authentication, The PGP company appears to have a potential solution.
This is a *free* directory for PGP keys, and looks to provide not just
"another" but "the" PGP key repository.
It is currently in Beta right now and is worth checking out.  
If you are a security professional, this an important read.  It is a
good idea to sign everything, and/or provide your PGP key information
to anyone who may contact you with sensitive content, particularly in
the even of a security incident.

Gemini writes "The [0]PGP company just announced a new type of
[1]keyserver for all your OpenPGP keys. This server verifies (via
mailback verification, like mailing lists) that the email address on the
key actually reaches someone. Dead keys age off the server, and you can
even remove keys if you forget the passphrase. In a classy move, they've
included support for those parts of the OpenPGP standard that PGP doesn't
use, but [2]GnuPG does."
