In fact, I know Christian really well and the philistine STILL didn't invite me to Multiply! Harumph. More seriously, do we really need Yet Another Networking Site? It's like printing up 1000 business cards just to find that you've dropped them all into 1000 "win a free lunch" bowls and forgotten to actually *use* your cards to network. :-) Oh, my two cents on the generic invite topic: http://www.intuitive.com/blog/how_not_to_connect_on_linkedin.html Couldn’t agree with you more, Scott!

That all looks pretty dubious against their T&Cs. And it's pretty questionable that you should give multiply your password on other sites. But why can't they process the lists and find the people who are already on Multiply?
