All politics and possible ulterior motives aside, this is awesome. I wish more companies made ballsy moves with the intended effect of giving users more control

  to their credit, google has also been remarkably open and user-oriented with the technologies they (we) have paid to develop. i commend them on this stance.

  "the intended effect of giving users more control" Isn't that a side effect? I would've thought that the intended effect was strengthening Google's position?

    You're probably right, but I'm quite happy about this. I had to manually get e-mail addresses from Facebook recently to create a wedding-invitee Google contacts list. And there have been several situations when I needed a number from Facebook and had to use my phone to first log into Facebook to get it.
