Step away from the Quechup and no one gets hurt

A new internet networking site, Quechup, is getting a lot of attention around the blogosphere and none of it’s good.

From all reports they are emailing entire address books without permission.

People are receiving invitations that are supposedly from friends and then joining up. That’s when the whole process is repeated with each new sign up having their entire address book spammed.

If you get an email from anyone asking you to join Quechup it’s probably best to delete it and stick with those networking sites that are a little more careful with your private details.

I’m sticking with Facebook. If you want to add me as a Facebook friend you’ll find my Facebook profile here.
