Snipd is testing Stripd.com (sexy version of Snipd) for private or very public groups

But this may be a better idea than trying to rid the Internet of ads (the Stripd alpha business model).

I have an incentive to collect these images and occassionally share them with friends. However, I don't think I have an incentive to start doing it on a group basis. This alone prevents me from using the site. I think the danger of this far outweighs the benefit that groups bring (getting cliques on the service in one shot). I think making this an individual thing and giving an option to share is a better way to go.

Also, I don't think I'd mind if the images I collect show up on the front page anonymously. This gives huge incentive for people to come to the site and just browse. I know you have public groups, but the group thing doesn't work well for me.

Keep on trucking!

I've since abandoned the project but it's still online. Cool to see someone pick up the banner though.

If you have a more open browse view, do add subcategories and an opt-in for different categories (s/categories/tags/g ? Whatever the cool kids are using these days.)

In any case do not show pictures on the groups page. Trust me here.

Good luck!

Serious commentry will resume after the blip.
