That's nice, but a user experience is worth a lot more. Here's a guy who just tweeted about the same problem this month:

I can't think of anyone who'd be ok with an email being sent to their entire contact list on their behalf, so why would this option even exist? Maybe ReadWriteWeb couldn't replicate it, but that doesn't mean it's not happening. Seems like a sneaky way to get their hands on your contacts

I don't use TimeBridge myself, so I can't speak from personal experience, but ReadWriteWeb looked into these complaints last December and concluded: “We tried to replicate this scenario, getting to the point at which TimeBridge supposedly sends out these invitations; although it is possible, you are given absolutely every opportunity to ensure that invitations are not sent out.”

30,000 users to 300,000 users in a year? Yeah, they did that by spamming everyone's contact list. You sign up and then suddenly your entire contact list gets spammed by TimeBridge, only TimeBridge makes it look like you're the one sending it! I'm not the only one either:
