I do not want to argue if this type of stuff is good or bad. But I do want to point out to you all that list of tech gods is full of similar stories. Off the top of my head:
MySpace started out purely through spam...Tim Ferris started out in online supplement sales...People complained about Plaxo doing black hat stuff... they sold ok. People complained about Zynga ripping off other games and about breaking every Facebook platform rule there was... look at Mark Pincus now. People complained about Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg stealing their idea... he does not care.

- buildorfail 15y agonot here to discuss ethics. Just making the point that this is extremely typical and far more common than you may think.
- keiferski 15y ago"Everyone's doing it" isn't a valid excuse.
- buildorfail 15y agoyou did not read the first line of my post. My point is just that this is nothing new...
