Hey Sean, you put a password for one site into another and then were then surprised to find all your contacts spammed in your name? Doh!

"But I've been burned, so here's my advice: If you get any kind of message from Tagged, delete it. Avoid the site altogether."

Hear. Hear. Nothing but junk on that site, and annoyance for your friends.

I received three of these from one client. I especially loved the warning that "You have to click!"

Of course, I knew that I didn't have to do any such damned thing. But I wonder what threat Grandma imagined looming over her if she didn't click either of the options in the e-mail?

Who else sees this as a challenge to either find a more annoying site, or make one?

blatant lies from that CTO. He knows the site is deceiving.

I interviewed with them, and let them know I was concerned about the reputation they were starting to develop, partly over the same issue. That was two years ago.

Wow, after about 10 seconds I'd vote time.com to be the world's 2nd most annoying website. For some bizarre reason it kept forcing my scroll back to the top of the page (safari 4), making it impossible to read the article.

It's a shame the author didn't make a more general warning not to give your email password to a site you didn't know about 30 seconds earlier. Until people start protecting their passwords, they are bound to get taken advantage of like this.

I am sad that they do this in a website with over 70 million monthly visits! Greed.

Lesson learned: If you are bad in the beginning, you will continue to be bad even after you are successful.
