Spokeo

There's a new web service out there at spokeo.com is essentially a social
network contacts aggregator thingymabobber. While it is a very cool
service, there's a little button that you don't want to press called
"Connect my friends", because apparently that spams your entire contact list
inviting people to join on your behalf, and I think that is what just
happened.
Because GMail saves addresses I either recieve, send, or am CC'd on, Spokeo
just sent an "invite" on my behalf to all few hundred people in my contact
list. Most of you I know, some of you I don't know. So just disregard the
invite that Spokeo just sent you, and sorry for the spam. Check out the
service if you want, but just don't click that button.... or else... =)
