I had to go look, looks like Plaxo Pulse (www.plaxo.com)
is some "Web 2.0" mashup site that sucked in "Mark's"
address book from his e-mail software (or gmail, etc..)
and then invited everyone in his address book.

Sigh.. it looks like the kind of thing my Dad will be signing up for and 
then calling me with questions about...

Best line in the world:

   "But Dad, I don't do Windows, and I still do (most) of my e-mail using
    Pine, ie: plain text, I don't understand why anyone would want to

   It's probably a ploy by the government/cia/al-quida/liberals/conservatives
   /porn scammers/creditcard thieves/.. to monitor/steal all of your
   information.
