I've never deliberately promoted spam before, but Mike just received an email promoting a perfect storm of American cultural memes: an online community linked to a reality tv show:
Tagged is an online community all about you, your friends and what you love. At Tagged.com, you can show off, sound off, discover friends and be discovered. Are you it?
You "get discovered" for the reality tv show by getting 77 "tag team" points. One point is awarded for every registered person who Friendsters - oops, "tags" you - and 11 points are awarded for every non-registered person you recruit to join the site.
Except for the reality tv show, there's nothing especially noteworthy about the site. But with the show...it plugs into the twin demons of popularity and fame. Diabolical genius.
