Well the invite links for each group can be reset or killed at anytime and the group owner can kick out anyone that doesn't belong at anytime.

Like i said earlier these groups are like a themed house party or potluck where you only invite your friends you know are interested in the theme and trust them to bring a good dish and not jump on the furniture.

i like the idea, but do have a few reservations/questions. I am thinking about using this for my family (cousins, aunts, etc...). Is there only one group owner? Or can there be multiple owners/admins? I'm thinking like how yahoo groups works where different users do have different permissions. Also can anyone add photos to an existing album? So let's say we all attend a family wedding and we each have photos, can they all upload to that same album? Or does it not do that...couldn't tell from the demo group.

Other than that I like the idea and fact that this type of system helps facilitate more conversation than a traditional "group" site.
