TAGGED


Tagged is a social networking site based in San Francisco, California, United States. Founded in 2004, Tagged members can play popular and exclusive social games, meet new people based on suggestions, and share tags and virtual gifts. It has since adopted privacy reforms and changed its invitation processes. The Office of the New York State Attorney General has criticized Tagged for its failure to respond promptly to complaints of sexual exploitation of children, citing findings that graphic images of children being sexually abused were accessible on the site. Users can upload photos and albums, receive and accept messages from other users, post a biography about themselves and their interests, send virtual "winks" to each other, and post status updates to inform their friends of their whereabouts and actions. Users can see which other users have recently viewed their profile, send virtual tags to their friends, and sort videos by most viewed, top rated and most liked.

Almost all social networks try to garner new members through email invitations and nudge users along with email updates. The invitations are usually sent when a friend first signs onto the social network, and this stage is easily skipped for those who don't want to bother their friends. Email updates on friend activity is also something that can be turned on and off in the options.Tagged, however, has taken this tactic to such extremes that many consider it a spamming website. Not only will it send repeated invitations to join the network, Tagged also routinely sends out emails to its members indicating that someone has viewed their profile. This is a technique used to try and keep members active and is generally frowned upon in the social networking community. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do about Tagged. But there is one thing you can do: make sure the emails sent from Tagged are marked spam so that your spam filter will catch them in the future.
