Did you get an invite from me on hi5?

If so - sorry!!!!

Hi5 is a social network like Facebook, and like almost every other social network you can check which other friends are there as members. Well, I got an invite from a friend, added him and checked who else I know is on hi5. I clicked “unselect all” and checked off only a few friends that already were on hi5.

I never invite people to social networks!

But - at the very bottom - a small checkbox saying “invite all other friends”. I clicked “ok” and suddenly realized what that button meant!

Aaaaaaargh!

The worst part - I’ve done this once before. Luckily hi5 is a “normal” social network, not like Badoo where it seems most users are girls in Ukraina wanting to marry someone.

So sorry people! Feel free to smack me in the head the next time you see me…

If you happen to like social networks, hi5 is just as good as the other ones. I prefer Facebook but hi5 is ok. If you know me, and still want to add me, here’s Oyvind at hi5.

  1. Nepa problema. Well - the problem lies with hi5, one of them being that they’re using the old “log into Gmail-approach”, and not Google’s contact API…

    Well, at least I know that I’m in your contact list :)

  3. Well, at least now I’m on hi5 too. Can’t hurt. :)
