You're missing the point I'm making Scott. Yes, I have an account with
LinkedIn and you can list all of my contacts - all of whom are also members
of LI as has to be the prerson doing the looking. But if I now open an
account with Orkut are you really thinking that it's right that I bring over
all of my contacts and their data to the new site? How is that privacy
enabling? How is that user friendly? How is that in keeping with the 7
Laws??
