Quechup
« on: September 04, 2007, 04:39:56 pm »
I know some of you folks are on Myspace, Facebook, and the like, and it seems another networking site has popped up that is rather unscrupulous in its recruitment techniques. 

Long story short: decline all invitations. 

Short story long: read this article. 

Bad business, people.

I always used to be the sort to assume that something was down to incompetence rather than lack of scruples.

It's disheartening to realise that I've changed.

The name of the site alone is much too twee for me.

I think I had a dream that I got emails from all my friends inviting me.

I'm disappointed that this thread is not about a cheese-based ketchup from Mexico, perhaps invented by Lonis Edison.

Heh! Totally astute. Would you be disappointed in ... a tiny can?

I got an invitation for something called WAYN that suggested doing the same thing.

Call me old-fashioned, but any time a site says, "Give us your Yahoo! and AIM screen name and password, and we'll take it from there," I hit my back button with all due speed.

Some of my friends persuaded me to sign up for WAYN, Where Are You Now. It's basically a horrible interface so you can see all the places your friends have been. It's kind of like a travel social network.  I get occasional emails from them even though I have tried to change my settings. I canceled my account with them because it was too annoying.

facebook asked for my AIM SN and password, and I gave it.

it found a bunch of random internet friends who I used to play Neverwinter Nights with?

This is mostly because I trust a faceless corporation even less with that kind of thing than I would another human being.
