Can’t say I disagree.

I think it sucks because it isn’t scalable and falls apart at 5,000 contacts. It pisses me off more and more every day because of that scaling wall.

Damn I wish I hadn’t locked my rolodex in this trunk.

    i am proud to be counted in the number of Scoble friends on Facebook and agree with his comments. Scoble is REAL PEOPLE and speaks his mind rather than kissing up to the establishment. we are lucky to have him as a spokesman for those of us without a voice. thank you Scoble for keeping it real.

    For those whom this concerns:
    They put limits on the number of contacts you can have because of SPAMMERS who upload/dowbnload hundreds of thousands of email addresses for the purpose of harrassing people and bombarding innocent people with unwanted garbage emails about drugs that help them with growing their tiny shlongs, and online drug dealers, and a bazillion different bogus lottery winners from all over the world truying to scam millions of peopkle out of their hard earned money.
    For those people like yourself who have thousands of contacts, they sell software for a couple buxx that work with your FREE online email accounts, and you can save as many contacts as you want to in them.
    I feel your pain and understand your frustration, but there is a very simple solution to the issue and I hope that this will help you understand their situation a little more.
    I am a Facebook user, and they suspended my email account because they say I send topo many emails and get too many emails. 10-20 a day at the most. They send me more than that in an hour to my personal email address, I guess that makes them spammers too then. LOL Assholes.

    Good Luck folks
