Don't worry, we're on your side :) We ask to read your contacts to help autocomplete email addresses for email shares and help you find friends on Prismatic (if you choose to do so). Last time I checked, Google didn't have a read-only contacts permission level, or we'd be using it.
- lucb1e 14y agoOkay that makes sense, but isn't it possible to make this optional? It's not that I don't trust you in particular, but there have been a little too many leaks for me to trust anyone with my full contact list. They don't need to get spammed some day because I signed up for an alternative RSS reader and they happened to get hacked or whatever. I don't share things by e-mail anyway; if I wanna tell anyone about something I've read I mostly use Google+ or MSN. That's why I ask if it could be made optional (you'd be the first that I know to do this, but that'd make it that much more awesome!).
- antback 14y agoI agree. Sorry but I won't allow anyone to manage my contacts. This should be optional.
- w01fe 14y agoFine-grained oauth is clearly better and something we plan to do eventually, but we're a very small team and we've been prioritizing building features and improving the design and relevance for the time being.
