Socialminder = Fail

with 12 comments

I’d like to apologize to anyone in my address book/contact list/ Linkedin network who received and invite from me to Socialminder (no I am not giving them any linky love).  I got several invites from friends yesterday. Because my friends are awesome and so well connected, it’s not unusual for us to get beta invites to cool new tools.  So this morning I clicked  on the link and signed up to check it out, not realizing that somewhere in the process I was spamming all of my contacts.  What does Socialminder do? how well does it work?  I’ll never know, because thanks to this serious social media faux pas on their part I wont be going back and I wont be encouraging friends to try it out either.
