O, LazyWeb, I crave a boon

I would like to be able to create universally-accessible groups of email addresses, say for a project team or other like-minded souls. Here’s how it works:
* I go to some web page, request a group be created, and get some identifier (could be user-selected to be more memorable or it could be random like tinyURL does it: the former makes more sense but boon-cravers can’t be choosers).

* I add the email addresses of the folks I want to be able to reach.

* I can then use that address, share it, publicize it, and because it doesn’t live in anyone’s email client, it’s immediately and equally useful to everyone in the group.

As a point of order, it could notify everyone who is added and give them the keys to remove themselves or add others, change their delivery address, whathaveyou.

This would be useful to organizations that lack an IT infrastructure of their own, who need or want to leverage the tools without taking on the responsibility or costs.
