Spoke.com is Evil ...And Digg Needs to Expose Them!

phil.yanov.com — "If ... I pressed the button for Spoke's free service, the Spoke toolbar would install and then copy the roughly 2100 names, phone numbers, and email addresses out of my Outlook Contact db and then add them to Spoke's database. Spoke would then be able to sell those names ... to direct marketing organizations." Get the word out! Spoke is evil!

  • Pudifoot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1It always seemed like a bad idea to advertise for people that are screwing you. just ignore them, and it hurts them more.
  • Pudifoot, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1good idea. lets punish spoke.com by making it more popular so that everyone checks it out!
