Most of the service revolves around you authenticating greplin (using oauth or xauth) to provide them with a feed of your data.
Greplin's core service really is tied into reading all of your stuff. That is a privacy nightmare in some regards, but all of this data exists in other services already, so you trust someone else with it. Question is whether you trust Greplin i suppose!
- arst 16y agoThere's also a difference between trusting various bits and pieces of your data to exist on a variety of online services, and trusting a single service to aggregate all of your data from everywhere. A local version of Greplin would be more interesting to me; I think the Locker project https://github.com/quartzjer/Locker https://github.com/quartzjer/Locker might make that possible someday.
