Ye gads.  Social networking nightmare.  Mods, please feel free to
delete.  Stumbleupon autospammed my address book.
And here I thought it was just another address-scraping worm. ;)

Are you saying there's a difference?  The only difference I see is that
this one's propagation mechanism has a bigger social-layer component
than most.

No skin off my nose, though; stumbleupon.com just earned themselves a
place on my private DNSBL right next to plaxo.com, and should never
bother me again.
