selective spamming 

When you share some piece of general information from the web, with only a selected set of people.

It could be an article that appeared on The Telegraph and one would think that everyone would have read it - but you still copy the link and send it to a couple of interested friends.

Other people might consider it spam, but your friends perhaps like it!
