Google is spamming

Folks reading this blog know that I'm a big fan of Google. Well, that's true most of the time. It is not true this morning because Google is now actively spamming. That's really unfortunate just before their IPO announcement.

Last night I got two invitations to join Orkut. Again. Both came from people who had asked me to join a long time ago. I just verified that at least one of them didn't re-ask (and I believe that he isn't at all active on Orkut). The invitation says nothing about it being a re-invitation, and starts off saying "[someone] invites you to join his network of personal friends at orkut.com." The word "invites" is in the present tense, not the past tense.

Yo, Google: stop spamming. Thanks! Posted by lookit at April 28, 2004 08:52 AM
