Facebook spamming
October 3, 2006
Facebook recently lost its one major value proposition - exclusivity. Since allowing open registration on their site, many of the loyalists have left because the "weirdoes" were let in. Now it was bad enough breaking down that loyalty, but I recently received the email below. I have never signed up for anything with them, this is not a list rental. This is 100% unsolicited email. Now this is not illegal, yet, but now I would never consider signing up since I know their stance on privacy.
Note, do not do this, ever...

Hi Jeff,
Now you can join Facebook! You tried to register last July, before we allowed everyone to sign up.
To register for Facebook using any email address, go to:

Thanks,
The Facebook Team
