Microsoft Open to Spammers?
That's what some folks are saying about Microsoft's new partnerships with LinkedIn, Tagged, Hi5, Bebo and Facebook. Calling it a new commitment to openness and data portability, the partnerships allow users of those sites to import their Windows Live contacts and vice versa. While this will make it easier for users to invited their contacts to the social networking service of their choice, it may also give spammers a new tool. I wouldn't be surprised to see a wave of fake invites from spammers. Microsoft claims this new tool is much safer than the old "screen scraping" technique. What do you think?
