Controversy Surrounding Email Invitations
Tagged provides a feature common among social networking websites [19] whereby users are invited to provide it with their email username and password in order to import their email contacts and invite them to join the network, and it will then check their email address books for contacts and repeatedly send email invitations to people who are not yet on Tagged, stating that they have been "added as a friend" or that the inviter had sent them photos on Tagged. This process has met some criticism in the technology press[20][21] and from some users.[22] The resemblance to a "virus" has been often been mentioned, including by urban legend sites like snopes.com.[23]

Tagged.com Parental Warning: Inbox Spam
Tagged.com is notorious for spamming the entire address book of its users, which can lead to unwanted email sent to friends and family. This can be a special concern if you share a family email address. Tagged.com also frequently sends out emails saying that someone has viewed your profile in order to drive traffic back to the site, which creates extra inbox spam.
