I finally gave in to the 500 emails I’ve received inviting me to join Tagged.com when it was actually from someone I knew and had lost touch with.
So i thought it was worth the risk to get in touch to pass on my email address.
Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig mistake.
The sign up gave me repeated errors, numerous faults, and tried to entice me to sign up for enough spam to feed Monty Python for years.
Then it repeatedly logged me out in IE and Firefox, and told me to accept cookies. When i did, it made no difference, except to the security of my work PC.
I finally log in, and get a load of messages claiming to be from my friend, but actually sent by Tagged via his profile.
Then it logged me out again.
I finally managed to browse for users, and managed to see two clones of the most common myspace pages, and then came to the conclusion that noone I could call a friend would have put me through that torture…
Tagged claims to be the premier teen networking site, but the figures I’ve seen suggest it’s the premier spam site, with less users than Myspace, Bebo, Facebook etc…And there’s a good reason for that.
