Gmail should be fined for helping spammers. I have an email address I rarely use , therefore It receives almost no spam....UNTIL I started to sell a couple of my personal items on Craigs List.
Craigs List lets you run a free Ad and has a feature that will Anonomize (hide) your true email address. BUT I soon noticed all these responses to my ad from Gmail address. I quickly caught on after I replied back to those emails. (when you reply back they obtain your true email address). sure enough they never answered back to my reply to actually purchase the item , and my spam box started filling up!(all they really wanted was my true email address to ad to spam list)
now I just put the statement in my ads "Will NOT respond to Gmail accounts"
social "notworking" is an old term used by The Inquirer.
Google it for yourself.
And it's "notworking" because so many people are "not working" when at work. Instead they are looking at those sites.
I have an idea that would combine twitter and facebook to make something even better, and new. But even less work would get done, so I'll leave it as a thought ;-)

What are social 'notworking' features. Broken features?
