plaxo

I should have seen this coming a few weeks back when I wrote about the sudden proliferation of social network invitations.

The people at LinkedIn are not happy that Plaxo's new social networking application reaches in and grabs LinkedIn connections and profile data.

Am I the only one creeped out by how easy it is to invite acquaintances en masse to new social networks such as Spock and Plaxo Pulse?

Both these nets use the program interfaces of existing services such as Facebook and LinkedIn to let a new user log into those sites and pull their entire "friend" rosters into new accounts.
