This site has been harvesting e-mails from various blindness mailing lists and putting them in their invite list. They lost any chance they had of almost anyone joining by their techniques. They seem to have started in August and I received and invitation then. They'll never get me to their site because of the methods they use.

Blinknation is a social networking site for the blind. The emails are not spam, but the owners of the site are a little overaggressive in advertising, which is one of the reasons I have not joined.
