Until recently, google didn't provide an api to access contact information, so collecting the username and password information was required to make it work. I haven't seen any sites make use of google's new contact access api though.
- spazmaster 18y agoSoocial has a working service (still private beta though) that uses Google Contact API. They use OAuth authentication too, which means that you can grant access via GMail, so you never have to give out your password to a third party (Soocial in this case). http://www.soocial.com http://www.soocial.com This widget is a terrible idea (you don't give the PIN code of your ATM card to your waitress do you?), but might be a great idea when implemented using OAuth.
