  In this era of social networking, it is surprising there are no straight forward ways for sharing our games online.
  
  Sharing means a possibility of sending a link to some one, who can just step through the game and the analysis easily or post it to facebook / twitter.
  
  Having an embeddable player to put the game in our blog would be nice. But that's not the main thing I am looking for.

  Answering my own question for documenting what I use. I will keep this answer updated as I discover more ways.
  
  * [lichess](http://en.lichess.org/paste) This is the simplest and cleanest way I found. Just copy pgn text and paste. It generates a nice little shareable link. Very nice interface to playback the moves. As a bonus, it also provides automatic (stockfish) engine analysis identifying the inaccuracies, mistakes, and blunders for the whole game. (usually within few seconds!)
  * [Chess Pastebin](http://www.chesspastebin.com/) is okay. It is good for games with minimal or no analysis. But the interface is cumbersome for games with a lot of analysis.
  * [Chess Microbase](http://chessmicrobase.com) is good for storing many games.
  * [NOT WORKING NOW] [ChessPost](http://chesspo.st) is nice and simple. Particularly useful for the purpose the question mentions.
  * [PGN4Web](http://pgn4web.casaschi.net/home.html) provides a good interface for a broad number of applications.

  you can use [the game explorer on chess.com](http://www.chess.com/explorer/), there's a database, it compares your game to other games, searches for related openings, and you can get a link to page.
  
  using game explorer to analyse your games is always free, however to see other games, you have to be a [premium member](http://www.chess.com/membership).
  
  Also on [chess.com](http://chess.com), you have [the analysis board editor](http://www.chess.com/analysis-board-editor), which is free and you can embed it in webpages. Click on "Game editor" tab -> "Embed" button.
