You can write in your Tagged journal -- which serves as your blog, send bulletins to friends, play games such as poker, watch videos, collect "pets" other users on the site or engage in any number of networking games. Many of Tagged's capabilities emphasize what it calls "social discovery. In that vein, you can send friend invitations to other users based simply on information you see in their profiles.
You can leave comments, wink, or offer Tagged "luv" as a sign of interest for whomever you like. Tagged's features also encourage you to earn virtual "gold" for completing certain actions such as answering a marketing survey. Then you can use your gold to buy digital gifts for your new friends. If you don't want to put the effort into earning virtual gold, you can buy it outright with your real-world credit card.
Tagged will also let you upgrade your account to VIP status for a monthly fee, which earns you a VIP logo, more gold, the ability to see who views your profile, and more. So how did a social networking community manage to become a lightning rod for major controversy and earn the designation from Time Magazine as The World's Most Annoying Web site?
A lot of the hullabaloo stems from Tagged's aggressive recruitment of new users. Many people discover Tagged for the first time through an e-mail message from a friend. The message bears the Tagged banner and a message indicating that your friend sent new photos to Tagged. You're encouraged to click Yes to see the photos, and if you don't, the message states, "Please respond or [your friend's name] may think you said no. Click Yes and you begin the registration process for Tagged, ostensibly so you can eventually see your friend's photos.
As part of the process, Tagged requests your primary e-mail account and password, supposedly to connect you with your friends on the site. The problem is that there are likely no photos to see, and once you enter your e-mail address login information, Tagged sends the same message to every person in your e-mail contact list. The recipients will see a message indicating that you've uploaded photos for them to view, even though you haven't yet created any public photo albums.
Why would Tagged engage in this type of behavior? The site administrators want you to help spread the word about its brand. In fact, Tagged's Terms of Service explicitly states that users "agree that their e-mail addresses and other personal information may be used by Tagged for the purpose of initiating commercial e-mail messages.
This forceful harvesting of e-mail addresses upsets many users. Then it started asking for my cell-phone number and making all these ridiculous offers for sweepstakes and other stuff no one should want. I'd skip an offer; another would come up. It was all junk. That's when I realized this was shady. I shut it down, but it was too late. The calls, text messages and e-mails came pouring in. I didn't want to disturb anyone else's afternoon, but I probably did.
I'm not alone. Over the next few days, I heard a dozen or so complaints from people that Tagged had spammed their entire contact list. One quick sweep of the blogosphere reveals a multitude of Tagged victims, dating back to But the scam is red-hot now.
Yes, I blame myself for being gullible. But the site was confusing and dishonest. And it's nice to know I'm not the only sucker out there. So what is Tagged? Tagged started out as a "social discovery website" but eventually tried to step into the online dating industry.
Here is where the problem lies. The transition wasn't done properly. The website is now an awkward mix of a dating service with underage members and a gaming website with adult members looking for love. The customer help service is substandard, and the premium package only really gives you one useful add-on. If you want an overall better dating website, try out our Casual Dating service category.
