I too got one of those invitations and investigated and decided not to get involved. I was surprised to get an email from Dennis. Part of the problem is Google. I am glad that I stopped using gmail address book as I now access it via a pop3 account Would make for an interesting complaint to Google about the Gmail exploit. Dennis, was this part of their TOS or did they exploit your address book some other way? A little more info would be appreciated.

the only reason I opened it was because I trusted the source - you Dennis. Give them lots of hell...

Along with a colleague, I am recreating and documenting what happened so I can be 100% sure. At that point, I'll comment further. In the meantime, sincerest apologies to anyone who has been inconvenienced. There's no way it should have happened.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. This was not at all our intent and we thought we made it very clear during the import and invite contacts process (the invite font was big and red). Since a few people have had a problem with this we have changed the process so that this will not happen in the future. Again we are very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your understanding and support.You can see our posting about this on our site @ http://blogger.goowy.com - goowy team

You're an idiot. If you didn't check the "Invite friends" checkbox or leave it checked, Goowy wouldn't have sent those. Oh please. Don't blame your own error on other people.

Not sure if you're aware but this was a long time ago and Goowy themselves acknowledged there was a problem in sucking up contacts in e-mailing applications.
As far as MY people were concerned, they were getting spammed. Please go check your facts before name calling. Please also go check the comments.
