That's called 'scanning'.<BR/><BR/>And indeed they say they send something but it's not an obvious warning. Nothing like the RED POPUP when you don't fill in how you got to know Quechup.<BR/><BR/>Moreover it is 'general practice' with all other social networking sites (Facebook, LinkedIn, ...) to simply check whether these people are in the database and then give you the opportunity to carefully select the people you want to invite.<BR/><BR/>Who would want to invite all the registration addresses they've sent an e-mail to before, and how about all the support, helpdesk, customer service, etc. addresses?<BR/><BR/>Don't defend these guys, they are killing a great idea ...Bert Van Wassenhovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01631724153558585117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11393171.post-50745711814483858502007-08-24T17:16:00.000+02:002007-08-24T17:16:00.000+02:00I decided to do a search on quechup.com and have been amazed at the amount of blogs from various people moaning about Quechup sending invites to all their contacts in address books. I dont know about most people but i read things before i do anything and it clearly states when you check your address book that they are sending invites out to friends that arent on Quechup, and you give them permission to do it. So for all you moaners read next time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11393171.post-28576606910812126802007-08-03T21:19:00.000+02:002007-08-03T21:19:00.000+02:00Ja heb er ook zo eentje gehad van jou en minstens 3 of 4 van anderen de afgelopen dagen...<BR/><BR/>Groet!Geert P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11393171.post-67322675239425954132007-08-03T12:34:00.000+02:002007-08-03T12:34:00.000+02:00ouf.<BR/>i did not click on it.<BR/>good that i know you and your taste since i went to visit the site later and it sucked big time (layout and concept).<BR/>tx for posting your apologizes for the spam ;-).david h.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17004956927890491580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11393171.post-64480270338214145542007-08-02T09:41:00.000+02:002007-08-02T09:41:00.000+02:00I considered sending out an excuse-me mail but thought it would add just an extra mail in the series ... using plaxo for this is a good idea however.

This thing pretends to 'check' whether your contact list is in their database, and then they abuse your list to spam people ... Plaxo does not do that.Bert Van Wassenhovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01631724153558585117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11393171.post-86670364070301919232007-07-31T20:29:00.000+02:002007-07-31T20:29:00.000+02:00you are funny!
