I hate how many pages turn the "invite your friends" feature from a convenient way to set up your new account into an obnoxious risk to accidentally spam all your contacts. LinkedIn definitely aren't the only ones to blame, you could even say that they are nice about it, since at least theuy don't scrape your iPhone contact list without you even noticing. But there is one thing about LinkedIn's implementation that is just inexcusable: They send the emails in such a way that they get through to all mailing lists the "sender" of the message is subscribed to! So every week or so somebody else will accidentally invite the entire local cycling community or a nationwide robotics mailing list to become their contacts on LinkedIn. It's embarrassing to the "sender" and wastes the recipients time. Way to generate hate, LinkedIn! (I know that identifying mailing lists can't be 100% accurate, but both of the examples have addresses matching @lists. And if you weren't sending the emails in the senders name in the first place, you wouldn't have this problem.)
