Is Anyone Else Getting Facebook Invite Spammed?

October 30, 2008 Posted in Daily Features

Next Friday my friend is throwing a Barack Obama victory party in Hoboken and decided to inform the world via Facebook Invite. She sent out the message this morning at 8:56AM then proceeded to send the invite again at 8:59AM, 9:32AM, 10:17PM and just a few minutes ago at 10:36PM – five times in a two hour span.

Annoying as hell, yes. Cocky as hell to set up an Obama celebration before the election, YES! – Facebook invite denied!

More to the point, I asked her to stop sending me these damn invites but she had no idea what I was talking about.

That is when I ran across Mashable’s Are You Getting Facebook Invite Spammed where tech guru Pete Cashmore tells us, “Facebook users have been reporting excessive invite mails over the past 3 days – between 3 and 5 mails are sent from Facebook for every event or group you’re invited to. The problem would appear to be site-wide, although we’ve yet to confirm that claim. So, let’s go ahead and ask: are you getting Facebook invite spammed?”

So are you getting Facebook Invite Spammed? Tell us about it in the comments…

For every event I've been invited to this week, I've received 3-5 e-mails about it.
