Internet It was bound to happen
It's not fun being in everyone's contacts and being invited to sign-up into some service or the other just so someone wants to share or enjoy some information, or photos, or music, or videos. The worst part of the whole sharing business is that there are many Web sites that provide the same services and it looks like each of your contacts uses a different service. It is not as though all your friends use flickr for photo sharing, or del.icio.us for bookmarks. In the future, you might be able to sign-up for a service like isolatr (http://www.isolatr.com). The Web site exists, but is only a parody of all the `Just sign-up to access... ' services. The service's credo is simple: "Helping you find where other people aren't". The Web site is `antisocial' in and by itself. Check it out and you'll find that the links and features are not all that they seem. The FAQ best describes the attitude: all questions have the same answer - `no'.
So, can you sign up for the service right away? No.
