I read an article about some website, totally forgot the url :(
The website was like a search engine, didnt know exactly how it worked but you could type in a name and it would search all social networks and get the info for that person. For some reason it required you to enter myspace username and password so myspace took action. Myspace banned it and few days later every other social network did the same :(

It said in the article that in 3 weeks that site was getting about 10,000uv/day and myspace banned it once they noticed it.

So those of you that allow users to enter their myspace username and password, just be careful. You are violating myspace terms so myspace can ban your site anytime!

well myspace stated that they were violating their terms by asking users for their myspace username and password.

the site began with stalker...com
i searched it in google and didnt get anything.

I use gigya.com also, it's great to post to all kinds of social networks. I don't think it is in violation of the TOS unless it is being used for purposes like that. Anyway it is the USER who has to enter the MySpace profile and pass...
