I agree with you ;) logging is too much :-P
The whole idea behind a social network is that you can socially network... as such inviting your friends is a great approach. I use facebook and from time to time I do indeed invite my friends. The problem you are experiencing is abuse of the feature. You have entities outside of what you would call friends that are hitting you up for a connection. The solution to this really should be the opportunity to register your address with the social network such that you will no longer receive requests. Cheers, Rob.
I get invites from a lot of friends, but the problem is they all come from different sites (hyves, facebook, some dutch sites,...) I don't like to keep all of these sites up to date with my daily life etc., so I decided to NOT to join any of these social networking sites. The problem is, that most people on the sites I saw were only trying to get the most friends, most "friends" were even people they didn't know anything about. For me, No join, No "Social Networking Friends", no spam :) Tijnema -- Vote for PHP Color Coding in Gmail! -> http://gpcc.tijnema.info -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
