Well, I don't know any technical details,but I have been getting a lot of mail saying X, and Y, and Z, have "tagged" me and the mail comes with a lovely emotional blackmail line of "if you don't respond they will think they are not your friend"...so cheesy! I delete such mails, because I was not sure if they are genuine...I started doing that when I got "Plaxo" emails.

I had the same experience with yaari.com and techtribe.com. Another thing which I observed is that often the person spamming is a female co-founder/employee. The worst (and most intrusive) form of spamming is that used by hi5 and tagged, which use social engineering to try to get you to sign up on their site and then your address book (without explicitly warning you - warnings if any are hidden in EULA which no one reads or in the fine print somewhere). -- Vinayak
