My spamisense is going off, but I've been in Who's Who before in HS a long time ago, so I thought I'd ask about these guys. A quick glance at their website doesn't tell me much other than it seems to be Yet Another Paid Service. The very impersonal nature of their message to me at work makes me think that this is merely spam. hrm

Hrm. Nomination isn't a public item. Otherwise, I'd nominate Carlos and let him pick them apart. ;)
