THe thing we're shocked about is that apps could access our address book and upload them wholesale to their servers without our knowledge or permission. That's a huge privacy violation.
Facebook knows about the connections I've told it about, or others have requested and I've approved.
Yes, it may be useful - but the address book on my phone is quite personal, and not something I would hand over to a 3rd party readily. There are people in there, let's say, who I wouldn't WANT people to know are in there. There may be people in there who hate other people in there.
So.. they can take my address book and do what they want with it? No amount of "cool stuff" adds up to allowing a 3rd party company to have the contents of my personal contact list, sorry. This is really bad.
