http://community.linkedin.com/questions/4609/why-is-linkedin-automatically-sending-out-invitati.html http://community.linkedin.com/questions/4609/why-is-linkedin... I am pretty positive they're talking about this "awesome" feature. I can't find the page right now, but there is a debatable "dark pattern" somewhere on LinkedIn that will lead you connect your personal email's address book to their service if you're just clicking about & not paying attention. I also have a suspicion that folks should make sure their LinkedIn password isn't the same as the password used for the email that signed up for LinkedIn. Despite the comments in that FAQ I linked, I really don't think LinkedIn is really hacking anyone or using any javascript-exploit to gain access to their Gmail account. I think it's just the questionable dark pattern... that I can't find anymore.
