What The Hell Is This Naymz Thing?
I have been spammed several times over the past several weeks by a service called Naymz. Several people it seems have wanted me to "join their reputation network." Bah. Like I need another way to connect with all these people. I tend to ignore invites to these kinds of services on general principle.

A co-worker of mine sent out an email grousing about this service. His main complaint was that they send out invites to your contacts using your email address as the sender. It confuses people as they think it was you that really sent it versus a service of questionable value.

Look, I can see why these services employ these kinds of spam tactics, but there are nicer, more friendly ways of building the number of profiles into your service. Needless to say I won't be signing onto Naymz, nor will I recommend anyone else do it.
