A VD Warning -- Do Not Get Infected!
When I received an email purportedly recommending some new social networking service via (not from) Ken Camp, my calloused sense of intuition said to me, "Ken does not take advantage of his reputation this way!" and so I simply ignored the email. Well, at least I now know that I am on some email list that Ken has (we have exchanged emails from time-to-time). He is also a Facebook Friend.
So I was not totally surprised when I saw his post today: Quechup - Rat Bastard Disease of the Internet. Read it and be warned! Now if Ken would just fire up his Skype client so I could personally thank him in writing via Skype IM for having developed such an ethical reputation.
Update: Scoble issues a warning.

Thanks for the kind words Jim. My screed didn't quite make everyone happy, but if I'm wrong and those people call and convince me, I will post the podcast and openly apologize just as openly as I called them out.

I got stung by this crap as well. I HATE these kind of things and should have known better.
