[edit] Usage

The network doesn't require any invitation from existing members, and anyone above 18 can join in.

[edit] Criticisms

Gazzag's attitude of sending out emails to people in an existing member's address book has been criticized as spamming. [1]. Gazzag sends out emails not only to its member, but also to all friends of their members. These emails are repeatedly re-sent until the prospective member joins. When you create an account they ask you for your Orkut and Yahoo account login and password. Any user sharing this information will find that any contacts they have in either account will begin to receive e-mails.
