Alignable, The Worst Spam Bot Social Platform Of All Mankind.
The idea of a social platform for local businesses is great. Unfortunately Alignable preys upon unsuspecting people to launch their platform.
Alignable is marketed as a new social network site for local businesses. I was invited by an employee of a local business to the platform. They had my email in their database from 4 years ago when we reserved something in their store. I don't believe this individual intentionally invited me. I believe while registering they chose the option to allow Alignable access to their email contacts. Alignable's bot found our business url in their database. The Alignable bot is the most ingenious spam bot of all time. It drills into your contacts and emails other business owners as the identity of the individual who registered.
I wanted to know more about this creature. I registered directly through the site versus the email invite from this individual. Once you sign up, it unleashes relentless invites to make you engage with it. I'm seeing invites in our spam folder by businesses unrelated to our market, including out of state businesses.
Do not, by any means sign up or allow anyone you know to register with Alignable. Alignable is taking in new unsuspecting victims daily. I highly suggest using the more trusted LinkedIn platform instead, until somebody else offers a safer alternative to Alignable for local businesses.

I have found for people that don’t know what they are doing Alignable gets the blame. It clearly asks you if you want to connect your email to allow it to search for businesses that are already connected to you, which you then get to connect to for free. It also shows you a list of who you are connected too and you can then choose to connect or not to connect with them.
It then gives you a list of other email addresses and asks are there any business owners in here? you can say yes or no. and deselect any emails you want.
So if the individual blindly selects do it all and clicks through on all those steps yes Alignable email botlike the bot it is does exactly what you tell it to do.
Blaming a bot for doing it’s job as you told it to do is not fair.
I have found Alignable to be super helpful to my businesses in 2 states to connect with clients and vendors and potential clients. far better than linkedin in that respect.
Love Alignable, if I screw up and let emails go out to the wrong people, that’s on me not Alignable.

Good grief, when LInkedIn is more trusted, you know you have problems.

Thanks so much for your review of Alignable. I just rec’d an invite from the owner of a restaurant where I made a reservation and ate once. No contact w/the owner, and I don’t have the kind of business that makes me a good networking candidate. The invitation seemed sketchy to me. Glad I checked it out first!
