> In that case isn't it same as posting it on your Facebook profile as an album with appropriate privacy settings?

Exactly. I think the point is that FB's privacy settings are difficult for the average user to understand. FB also has a public-by-default policy, whereas The Fridge appears to be the opposite.



Although the private by default thing is a nice idea, here's the problem with the fridge's model:

What about the situation where someone in a group goes 'rogue' and invites people who other group members don't want to see their stuff? These new members will see everything already posted... I think it's an important principle that anything you post to a group should only be visible to members of the groups _at that time_... otherwise you have no real control over the info you share.


FB also changes their privacy features without giving users a heads-up first.
