That&#8217;s not the same as harvesting them direct from facebook. No one said they wanted you to have their e-mail address. No one chose to give you those details.<\/p>\n<p>If you want them ask for them. Taking contact details from 5000 people is unethical and wrong. That&#8217;s very similar to spam behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this worse is that Plaxo is associated with this. I use Plaxo pulse and you can see it on the right side of this column.\u00c2\u00a0 I don&#8217;t mind their services but for people to harvest their friend&#8217;s data without prior consent will help increase this feeling of insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve had that debate on Seesmic, on Facebook and other online communities.
