I signed up for facebook, friended no one that didn't friend me and that I didn't know personally, told no one about my account, and have a folder of facebook spam in my email box that already has 40 messages in about 2 months.

Facebook spams you if someone has your email address in their address book. Facebook spams you if someone wants to be your friend. Facebook spams you if someone has a birthday. Almost half of my Facebook spams are in Spanish, and I don't speak Spanish.

And I have six friends in Facebook. Six. I can't imagine how bad it is if you have 100.
