What the ...? Never ever share your login credentials with a third-party. This could have been done as local open-source tool. Why is this a web app? You can do this yourself with tools like Gephi.

It's not asking for your login credentials, it uses an oauth system and asks for permissions.

  And plus, you know the NSA is looking at your mail anyway, so what further harm could a bunch of MIT grad students do?

> Never ever share your login credentials with a third-party. It uses Google's OAuth; the site never sees your password > Why is this a web app? Because it's for the average user, and people who don't have time or skill to export their data, research graph formats, then write some ETL to get it into that format, then download Gephi to view it. It makes great sense as a webapp. > You can do this yourself You're completely missing the point
