And to explain why I decided not to register at this point. People tend to get "insulted" (in one way or another) if you don't accept something they've offered. That's one of the basic reasons why the "friends invite other friends" type of promotion works and is so popular lately. This post was aimed at alleviating (or better yet, avoiding completely) the "insult-ish" feeling that the kind folks might get. *fingers crossed* :) Yo Ivan, no need for apologies :)

They could have given me the choice if I actually want to spam people or not. :/ They make it so easy for us to spam all our contacts, don't they? Zyt, sorry for the “spam” invite.

It feels 'clean', don't know how to describe it. //thanks for the linkup man I’m fed up w/everything right now, and primarily loving last.fm.

I thought companies like these would figure out that it's a bad idea by now :) The Linkedin import feature is cool (and expected) of course. The next "big" feature could be a Notchup facebook app. That should reel in even more users :) Wow, no opt-out mechanism?

Anyways, they don't offer any delete account which is a total no-no. The whole deal was kinda fishy, but the 10% Referral Bonus is even more. Don't know, we'll see how it ends up, but I really don't think any Croatians will earn any money. And I dislike the lack of design, rather the - 'Oh, it allows linkedin imports hence it looks like linkedin'. Sorry for that, I’m part of the problem :)
