DISQUS

Uh, Heysan has the shadiest viral mechanism I've ever seen. Based on this review, I logged in and clicked the "Share with friends." Without any confirmation, it blasted all of my friends, leading to AIM rate-limiting and kicking me off. Avoid Heysan.

I had the exact same experience. This is kind of like the Loopt debacle, wherein they spammed people's contacts with invites. Definitely leave this crap alone.

Hey Ramit - I did highlight in the review that this is what they are doing and how effective it is. Virtually all of the soc nets (bebo, myspace, hi5) use this mechanism and heysan are the first i have seen to use it on mobile. To be fair you did click "share with friends" so it's hardly shady!

I'm all for promoting companies to watch, but 100 million page views in a month - is that supposed to be a lot? Some of us in the mobile space are generating that kind of traffic in a day, so I'm not sure I'd consider it jaw dropping...

Hey drodger - is that a startup site though or an established brand? Happy to cover you if you give us a shout (contact details on the mjelly site).
