Tagged is one in a flood of new social networking sites targeting teenagers. Theyre all MySpace wannabees, and perhaps some of them are harmless, but Im going to focus on Tagged. It first got my attention several weeks ago when I got about six e-mails in rapid succession from it. They were obviously auto-generated invites to join a site and said "[my friends name] has added you as a friend on Tagged," and "Please respond or [my friends name] may think you said no :(". I could tell right off something phony was going on, but I still had better things to do, so I passed, and my friend was apologetic about it. I wasnt the only one who got the e-mails.
Tagged is also very aggressive with signing up new users. At registration users are strongly encouraged to invite their entire address book as friends. It’s a highly viral, albeit controversial, way to quickly add lots of new users.Tagged markets itself as a premier teen social networking sit !!! If that is the case then why am I receiving an invite from a 51 year old Harsh from India? He is not a teen and I sure as heck am not a teen :)..
