This is one of those situations where you evaluate who sent you the invite. My aunt who can barely figure out her Macbook: don't click on it. Cool friend who knows tech: click on it. Guess which one invited me to Tagged?

#12I'm confused. How did tagged get his contact list? If he's dumb enough to enter his username and password from gmail or whatever into some spam of the week website, then its his fault.
Or does tagged get that information some other way, like a partnership with yahoo or something?

#14Why does the article call them "Harvard math majors"? They're both physics guys. In fact are both are Ph.D students in the Stanford physics department.

#15Wow, 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.
same here (Safar 4), but it stops scrolling back to the top of the page after the page completely finishes loading...

#16"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.
Better advice: Don't input your email credentials into any site that isn't your email host. Simple.

#17I briefly had a job with these idiots (for one month in 2005). The whole thing was conceived as a way to gather addresses for one of the largest spam operations in North America, which the FTC subsequently shut down.

Why does the article call them "Harvard math majors"?
Maybe because they both majored in math (as undergraduate students) at Harvard?

Wow you're clever.
But if you look at their CV's, they are much more credentialed as physics geeks than as math geeks. So why does the author choose to call them "math majors"? It seems like the choice must have been intentional, but I have no idea what purpose it would serve.
