Nita Saxena is both agitated and perplexed. She is continually bombarded with numerous replies from friends and acquaintances, accepting her invitation to join the social networking sites she is active on. If she has invited them, why should she get angry? Simple. She has never sent out a single invitation.

On digging further, she found out that such invites were being sent not only to her colleagues and friends, but to her top bosses too – essentially, everyone who features in her address book.

"I was surprised when people called me up and enquired on the invites that I was supposed to have sent them. Even though my profile is posted on a couple of social networking sites, I don't get much time for social interactions, not to mention asking people to join these sites," says Saxena.
