Since last couple of weeks, I’ve been received numerous emails from Tagged, a new social network. I tried to unsubscribe myself using the “unsubscribe from tagged†link at the bottom of their email, but it didn’t work. I finally decided to go off the way and see what was wrong at Tagged. When I tried to sign up with tagged, I was forced to give my Gmail username and password to send invite to my Gmail contacts. Surprisingly, there is no option to skip this step. I really pity on those who really give their username and passwords to such social networks.
Amit Agarwal seems to have a similar problem, he tried marking their email as spam, but still their spammy invites continued to flow because Tagged sends email from the user’s address. You can create a filter in Gmail to delete all mails which has “Tagged you! 
†in its subject.

Or, if your email service provider doesn’t support filters, you can do it in your email client. Tagged is not the only spammy social network, earlier there was Gazzag which flooded our inboxes with similar emails.
