Ridiculous Item of the Day: Quechup.com

Quechup.com, is a dating/social network based in the U.K. Pronounced 'ketchup', the site calls itself "The 'Sauce' For Meeting People - Socialise, Make Friends, Date." Aside from the silly tagline, Quechup has drawn the ire of hundreds of lonely bloggers by surreptitiously squeezing email addresses out of them. When you sign up for the site it prompts you to share your address book so you can find out which of your 10,000 close personal friends is also trolling for dates on Quechup. But instead of presenting you with a list of friends, Quechup sends an invite from you to everyone in your book -- making you look like a nasty purveyor of pork.
