[IxDA Discuss] Keyurbsorathia wants to share Favorites with you

[Gajendra Agrawal]

I think this is a result of misleading design. These are cheap tricky
methods to get more Users base eventually more traffic and money. Finally
users lands up in embarrassing situations like this. This invitation might
go to your VP, Girl fiend, Father, etc. Because people have all kind of
email Address in their Address Book. Like Keyur sent this to IXDA and some
other mailing list. :(

After frustrating experience of receiving multiple invites I wrote this
Blog  http://kicksandkisses.com/wordpress/?p=47

Cheers and Be Aware of such websites.
