I just hit send on the email below:

Hi there–

A few months ago, I was surprised and disappointed when __________ posted an off-topic video and an obviously spammy profile to a site I helped build (for a client, at my day job). I’ve met some ________ folks around town, I think your products are pretty cool, and you seem like a good team.

In slower moments since then I’ve looked around for similar instances, and have collected some more examples in this Google document. I understand why offshore pharmacies and porn sites spam using social tools, but it really makes me sad, confused, and a little bit angry that ________ would abuse the very social media ecosystem it lives in. It’s like poisoning your own well.

So if you didn’t know this was going on at your company, I thought you’d appreciate knowing about it.

-Ross
