quick idea for sending spam through google calendar

I've just noticed that if you share a google calendar with someone then it is automatically added to their set of calendars without any kind of confirmation, the user is sent an email after the fact to say that it has been done. This gives me a couple of ideas for sending spam: Create a calendar full of spam messages and share it with loads of people - very obvious but gets the message out in the same way as the current send everyone spam blast. Create a calendar with just a couple of entries that lead to spam but are made up to look like legit entries, users are bound to be curious if an entry appears "Lunch with Rachel" and a link. Don't know if you can disable this feature but I know that I haven't done anything to deliberately enable it so it would probably work against most gmail users. Robin
