Arhhhh! Tagged.com got me

Yeah, user error. My mis­take. I should have watched all the check boxes on the site. Mea Culpa. Now all my gmail con­tacts get spam from me. Ugly.

So, whilst I am on the topic: social net­work­ing sites should only opt-in, not opt-out. Make it a little more dif­fi­cult to show your friends you are an abso­lute dork and idiot. Plaxo had the same effect on people, and it made your Out­look run as slow as treacle.

I am a fan of linkedin.com; myspace.com is inter­est­ing but looks as ugly as Prince Charles’ second wife; not much else has caught my eye.
