| I have to agree. When these invitations or web sites first came to the scene in US a few years ago, I thought they were pretty cool. Unfortunately, it was just matter of time to turn this great idea to spam. Whenever you provide your email address online, it will eventually become a timed spam bomb. The initial purpose was good, but there is always someone trying to flip it. Maybe the website owner has the interntion to do it as well? I understand not long ago, the clicks/site visits/memberships were the determining factors for a startup to turn itself to a gold mine. Not anymore, it is all about revenues and profits for a web business... Look at how many junks I receive everyday? So I am basically stop signing up any mailing lists, unless that's a reputable major institution. I'd rather to create my own contact lists on my PDAs or save that in my email box. Why we have to share the social network? Do I really know my friend's friend just by sending an email? |
