Have they considered making it a bit more medium-size friendly, and marketing it to schools? School software tends to be waaaay behind what's even "good".<p>edit: after poking around a bit, I agree with x0t. It's a bit rough around the edges. But the simplicity is definitely a bonus (though I'd love the ability for a non-verified account to at least <i>see</i> the settings for groups, so you can at least see what you can do).<p>edit2: after verifying, the options are:<p><pre><code> change name "reset code" (regenerates your link) notify everyone on post - on/off delete group </code></pre> Which pretty much sums up everything you can <i>do</i> with a group. It's just a bucket for members. Not sure what you can do aside from adding members and using a wall, haven't added myself w/ a second email and don't care to. Invite link is: <a href="http://www.frid.ge/?ginvitation=azd528pe2u8ggk0w84gkwoccc" rel="nofollow">http://www.frid.ge/?ginvitation=azd528pe2u8ggk0w84gkwoccc</a> if you care to help me experiment.

It would be nice if eventually there will be an option for groups to be public so people can discover new things.<p>That would make the service Meetup like, but Meetup's privacy settings fail worse than Facebook so I think there is a space to fill.

Love it. Keep up the good work. I've invited a small network of Python geeks in Reykjavík Iceland. Will report back how it works out.

I think it needs some polishing, but this is a pretty slick idea.
