You are right that WAYN used to be a bit spammy, and that is no way to build a large and loyal following. They have made a number of changes to the sign in process to rectify this situation. I would be interested to hear if your experiences don't seem to have changed. best, Nic Thanks for the comment.

I got lots of "invites" to join wayn, but these were usually followed by apologies from friends who said they weren't sure how the invites even got sent. This semi-voluntary inviting is a good way to build a user base to attract attention and capital, but you'd better make sure they change their ways. For now they have a slight leg up on tripconnect.com, realtravel, tripmates and others who also have social component but have refrained from spamming, but that won't last if they don't change their way of attracting new users.
