I have been getting IM spam on gtalk to get me to sign up on heysan. It comes from my gtalk friends and leads to a google sign in but on heysan.com. It's the exact same message coming from multiple people so its definitely autogenerated.
This shady approach, even if it's coming from a 3rd party incentivized to market heysan, mars this otherwise impressive achievment. Even if this is spam in the plaxo sense, I don't think it's a good thing.
- shabda 18y agoI came in to say the exact same thing. Hey, san! It is not worth it irritating me, to for a small chance that I sign up. Plus I the people whose IMs I got the msg/spam from were not aware that I would be getting a msg from their IM. You might have said that in small print, but it is definately shady.
