By registering for Yaari and agreeing to the Terms of Use, you authorize Yaari to send an e-mail notification to all the contacts listed in the address book of the e-mail address you provide during registration.
Immediately as a potential registrant by seeking and accepting membership, Yaari tells you, you have to grant them unrestricted access to your personal contact list. Something it seems many registrants failed to read in the beginning as they now complain and cancel their accounts after the fact. The contradiction is that when you join or create an e-mail account on other sites they warn you NOT to give out your password. With Yaari it is a matter of how badly do you want to join? Potential Yaari members really need to ask this question before proceeding, Is it worth compromising my privacy to the extent of allowing Yaari uncontrolled access to my personal e-mail account(s)?
It goes on to state that THEY (Yaari), NOT YOU, will, ?…notify your friends that you have registered for Yaari and will encourage them to register for the site?.
I went and looked at their web site - they claim they want to be the social networking site for young adults on the Indian sub-continent (maybe including ex-pats). This is so not me!
For both of those reasons, I'm not going to sign up.
