Re: Is this spam? (Re: Check out my photos on Facebook)

Offhand, I'd say someone got their address
book vacuumed up when they joined Facebook, and it sent a join-up message
to everyone listed.   I've seen that happen with those 'Invite your
friends to join!' buttons on social network sites.   They don't ask
you to list the people you want to invite, they grab every e-mail address
you have and send out the invitation.  Annoying and sometimes embarrassing.
