Re: Want some Quechup on your Rapleaf?

Mathew, you read my mind. I am stuck in the Quechup mess - sending nastygrams to company management did not help. I had to delete all my contacts and move it to a new gmail a/c, maybe I should push/harass google to shut access to these morons.

Jeremy, I linked over from A VC. Sorry to be still in the dark ages of W 2.0 but what is "rate limiting"? I think I follow the above post but the comment you made in A VC was a bit brief for some of us or maybe just me...

Matt, Matt, Matt....please delete this guest post and we'll forget it ever happened. The most charitable thing I can say is that he at least admitted that he was an invester in...what was that company again? Can one be tough on a free service? Even if the answer is yes, this was way over the top.

Matt

Nice move in adding Venture Board. Some different content is good to differentiate from the others, such as Gigaom and Techcrunch, reporting in the new technology space.

Hi Pete

Here's my note these morons sent via their internal mail system. Thanks to Arian, commenter above, I'll harass the bottom feeder owners/managers of this spam site, sorry in advance for a long note:

"Guys

I was invited by a blogging acquaintance, Hugh MacLeod to join your site.

Sadly I did without doing proper due diligence and the iDate owners, marketing geniuses and your software designers, a bunch of bottom feeders-let me be polite and not express my feelings, have serious screwed me over either intentionally or inadvertently. First of all I assumed it was some sort of a social networking site and Quechup turned out to be another spam engine. The fact that I was asked a bunch of personal details should have set off alarm bells but having worked non-stop for 18+ hours I signed on.

I signed up as a heterosexual and most heteros typically would like to meet a WOMAN, unless you play for both teams, which I don't. So why the heck would you all send it to my entire freaking gmail email list where I have all my professional/business colleagues. And you did not seek my permission either.

This is absolutely unacceptable and if you do not remove my name from your membership rolls and DELETE ALL MY contacts I will inform (whether or not they pay any attention to my email) all the major web 2.0 software review sites including Techcrunch, Gigaom and other even more nastier review sites - its your call. I will do this by
Friday Sept 7th unless you do as I ask and send me mail to confirm that you have deleted my name and my gmail contacts from your database.
