Guess who’s the latest one in the list of sites wanting my gmail password to import my contacts?

StumbleUpon!

It says “Login info is not stored in any way“. Feels like testing the limits of my paranoia….

While it’s a good idea (don’t really know - may be I’ll hate some of my friends after looking at the sites they stumbled upon … haha…), I can’t really see myself trusting individual website interop mechanisms like these. This is where MoveMyData (still in planning) sort of desktop open source applications come into the picture - and I think such apps are going to be quite useful for everybody (specifically those who really care about the data).
