MyBlogLog spam splog

You may have heard of MyBlogLog. Lately, proving once again, that which can be spammed will be, I was chosen to be a friend (I assume by an automated script) by a guy who has been using the service for three weeks and has joined 1500 communities and has added 1600 contacts. I left him a message. I hope he reads it.



follow up: So, perhaps not an automated script, rather someone immune to carpal-tunnel syndrome. Anyway, he leaves me two truculent messages about my hypocrisy - my use of MyBlogLog signifies I want to connect, and he's only doing more of it than me just as is Eric [one of this sites founders]. As far as I can see, he remains my contact despite that he still hasn't viewed this site and has no way of knowing whether or not I may be saying really horrible and hurtful things about inter alia (his or his loved one's) ethnicity, culture, religion... with which he would be in violent disagreement. (I've masked out his details as I am of the opinion this is really a systemic issue, and this overzealous promoter of his services is merely a symptom. An internship at Edelman awaits.)

Thanks for pointing this one out. He'd slipped our screen.
