Signed up for Goodreads, made sure to "uncheck all" in the list of Gmail contacts that I could invite, then only checked two people that I knew would be interested. Today I find that my *entire* list has been spammed! I found your blog post because the same thing happened to me.

I feel your pain Rosey. Thank you for sharing though...knowing it's not just me makes me feel a little teeny bit less stupid. Hey, at least on Facebook people are used to being spammed with random apps/zombies/food fights/groups? :) Ugh, that sucks! I feel your pain Rosey.

I wish I remembered what I clicked and unclicked, but I thought I was adding the two friends who already have it. I signed on this morning and had a new Goodreads friend - who WASN'T one of the two already on it. Apparently, I sent a mass spam invite to my whole Facebook friend list. How stupid do I feel right now? And yeah, I thought I was web savvy too. Hey, found your post from a Google search on Goodreads spam.
