StephanieBamBam: If they haven't pulled the application down yet, it'll happen momentarily.
That was almost two weeks ago.
Q: Any guesses on the current status?
A: The
app is still up and still prompts you for your myspace user name and
password so they can spam your friends. See their spam input form here. It's not an oversight on
Rockyou's part. There's no technical or operational glitch. The app is still up, because RockYou isn't being
punished for willfully and blatently violating the TOS.
In his defense, Lance Tokuda from RockYou basically said, "other people do it too. Including slide." How persuasive.
So MDP'ers,
- Can we expect more anti-spam lip service, but then no follow up?
- Are you asking us to write our apps dirty?
Because without punishing RockYou in any manner, it appears your tough talk is hot air, and the scrappiest apps will "win".
sigh.
