Earlier today I got a notification from someone on my Facebook friends list, leading to a "President Obama Approval Poll". I voted, clicked away, and then a couple of hours later got an email to say I'd sent notifications of the same poll to all my friends list.

I am usually pretty careful about permissions for Facebook apps, and I did not notice any opt-out for the spamming of my friends. I honestly think this thing has its privacy settings wrong (deliberately?) and does not give the usual options, just goes ahead and spams your friend list.

Sorry to anyone who got a "notification" from me -- either I got sloppy or, as I suspect, this thing is viral.
