I seem to get invites and friend accepts in waves. It's a very interesting phenomenon. I've also read about something called OpenSocial, I think it's a way to keep your profile the same across multiple social sites, but not everyone is using it. And you still have to notify people you're in a new network. And Facebook quizzes need to slow down with enabling mass spamming. I've done the same thing a few times not realizing I was sending an application to everyone because I clicked the wrong link to see my answers.

BTW, sorry if I was the one that sent you the Plaxo invite. Similarly to Facebook Quizzes, if you're not paying very close attention you wind up spamming all your contacts!
