You've got fram!

Fram is short for friend-spam and, unlike spam, it comes from someone you know. "On Facebook (et.al.) every time you do something, it tells people about it. You join a group, you can tell your friends. Add an application? Why not invite your friends to enjoy it with you? Each one of those interactions sends an email." Mulitply that by a bunch of friends, and bam! You've got fram. Matt Dickman blogs the top 5 ways to prevent fram. My favorite? "If you join a cause or group, don't invite me." Instead let me see it on my feed and decide if I want to join on my own.
