So the webmail provider has sold out?
No, it's actually worse than that. Facebook offers to do "useful" things with your address book. In order to get at your address book, it encourages you to give it your webmail provider, username, and password. Doesn't *that* sound like a good idea?
It doesn't even take a real candy bar these days for people to give up their login credentials to third parties. The excitement of being able to SuperPoke someone, play Mafia Wars, and spend *real cash* to send "Limited Edition" icons of pink panties to friends is enough.
