I felt the same way too. That is why having totally different passwords and login ID for different application might be good. For those applications that I feel I don’t have to worry if my login ID or passwords exposed, I just go ahead and share it all around. As for Google Adsense account, I don’t share it out with any other application. We definitely need to take extra cautions on IDs and passwords that holds our income.

I see that since I wrote this, Google are announcing that they’ll have their own social media search tool soon… but you will need to give GOOGLE all your passwords too. How can Yahoo’s Beacon get held up in privacy law suits, butu Google can simply swan in, linking all your social media profiles to your Google profile!?

Interesting post Dixon – I half agree although I’m not up enough on the enforcement and interrelationship of T&Cs of applications, networks and third party products.

Can you actually class using your Twitter ID and P/W with a third party app as disclosing it in an unsecure fashion? The app you use will have their own privacy policy (or should) which (as I understand it) covers your usage and any details you give them.

having checked Echofon though – this doesn’t appear to be covered in their Terms of Service (don’t know why that’s the Spanish version btw) :S

“9. Transmission of Data. Use of the Software may involve the transmission of data
over the Internet to naan studio, to Twitter, and, as discussed in Section 8 above, to other third-party
Services, and you may not be notified in each instance of the transmission of information from your
computer. The information that is transmitted to naan studio includes your Twitter username and
display name which naan studio only uses for syncing between your different versions of the
Echofon software, and your tweets and other Twitter information needed to provide you the service,
which we delete immediately after delivery to your computer or to Twitter. naan studio collects
various categories of non-personally identifiable information, such as use data, application name,

I think about the only site I have trusted with my Twitter details is Facebook

I don’t trust Facebook with my Google Account password
