I'm not referring to those blatant buy-a-mailing-list-and-spam kinda process. I'm talking about the more subtle invitation "spam" executed by the likes of plaxo, hi5 etc.

Doesn't sound like spam to me.

It all depends on the definition of the "spam".

If I was trying to make a site that will last, then no, because I'd feel dirty -- and it's a dirty way to start out.

Spam is a worse crime than murder. Big spammers like Ralsky send enough spam to waste many lifetimes' worth of people's time. Just because the damage is spread out over a large number of people doesn't make that fact any less heinous.
