Why are my uploaded photos much darker than they appear when I edit them?

If I edit an image in Lightroom, save it and then open it with the default image viewer on my computer (Picasa), the image looks as it did when I edited it. However, when I upload the image and view it any browser, its much darker, and things like contrast adjustments look terrible. Why is this and how can I fix it?

FWIW, I only used Lightroom for the first time yesterday but I've had the same problem using Photoshop too for as long as I can remember.
Also, the exported image appears too dark when viewed with the default Windows Photo Viewer, just like it does when viewed in the browser.
