I clogged all the groups I access through my gmail when I tried to send invite to all my 'friends' in orkut to facebook!
This is what happened. I was in one of my vetti moods and I saw a link in facebook that said that you can get in touch with all your orkut friends. Off late, I seem to be more active in facebook - even though, from my point, orkut is simple to understand and work with! - I thought why not try this to get all contacts here.
Followed the steps that were given in the link
- Logged into orkut
- Clicked on 'Friends'
- clicked 'Export to csv'
- It gave me the standard 'donut' message - should have stopped here, but i think it was my fate that I should go through this :(
- Repeated the 2nd and 3rd step
- File got saved
Accessed that file from facebook.
It told me that I'm connected to some of them, not connected to some of them.
I happily sent invite to all those who are part of facebook and not connected.
So far, so good.
Then it told me that some of them are not part of facebook and I should invite. I did not bother to check the ids (obviously because I'm supposed to have exported only contacts from orkut and not from gmail as it turned out :(), happily clicked on invite all...
THen I see mails flying everywhere - official mail id, my husband's office id, groups that I've subscribed to... Bah! so much for trying out something new!!!!!!!!
I tried sending apologies for couple of the group ids as initially I could not understand what happened. Then I ditched.
If you are part of one of those groups, please forgive me. My sincere apologies for spamming your mail box...
I only wish I had a better profile photo ;)
