Invite Pool Sweepr describes itself as: "a program that sweeps through an invite only photo pool and locates uninvited photos that can then be removed from the pool by the group admin."
It hasn't been released as yet, but the concept is one that greatly appeals to me, because it has the potential to open up new possibilities to creative minds without programming skills or access to pool cleaning bots.
Allowing people to collaboratively curate each other's work isn't a new idea idea around flickr, but it is a good one. Automating the simplest pool editing tasks is also an old concept, Utata itself implying a pool cleaning bot for some time now.
Combining the two concepts is quite natural, and I hope that releasing this tool into the world will spark all kinds of new curating based group pools.
