The morality of this sort of site is questionable to say the least; just like home addresses, the availability of our contact information to those who wish to find it online or in directories is somewhat concerning. The reaction of those targetted can also be varied - they can either admire the proactivity or feel totally creeped out! In reality though, no reply is probably the most common outcome - but nonetheless, this type of site is probably lucrative for marketers and salespeople so at least some people benefit from its existence.

Hi, Sarah -- thanks for the feedback. I share your concern about this type of site and decided, upon reflection, to share it anyway. My reasoning? Like most technology, I think it has its positive uses and its slightly creepy downsides -- it's down to the individual user to choose *how* they use the technology.
