Search marketing in the new media era.

I Got Google Talk Spammed
It was probably my fault for accepting his gTalk invitation. Anyways, here's my first encounter with gTalk spam:

Garrett: yo who is this
gtalkSpammer: hi !
Garrett: hello!
who are you?
gtalkSpammer: Can please visit http://www.gtalkSpammersite.info and post your VoIP offers ?!
Garrett: what?
gtalkSpammer: me from http://www.gtalkSpammersite.info support... I found you in a voip forums
Wish you join our forum and add your company to our directory....
Garrett: I'm not interested in doing that and my company doesn't do anything with VOIP
gtalkSpammer: oh......ok..... Thanks for your valuable time...
Garrett: you're welcome
where did you get my address from again?
gtalkSpammer: http://www.searchenginelowdown.com/
Garrett: and you thought because I was writing about google talk that I should visit your forum?
who else are you contacting this way?
gtalkSpammer: i didn't read your full post... I just search voip related gmail users to invite them!

Anyone else gotten hit this way?
