Erick,
Are any of those sites using the Gmail contacts API or are they using the password anti-pattern and collecting username + password from users then screen scraping these sites?

I can't just go snag your contacts without your consent. I'm currently looking at the GMail Contacts API and it's pretty secure - the user has to grant the site permission to their contacts. Speaking of this whole contact sharing stuff - anyone have recommendations for pre-written modules that do this for you? I hate reinventing the wheel! Thanks Datrio,

When I go to friend finder in Facebook, I have to enter my gmail password. When I choose hotmail, I don't have to enter my password, but am directed to the ms sign in page. Microsoft is actually leading the way here, not playing catch up. wow. Gmail does not let you do this.

I don't know about other services, but LinkedIn now has a captcha for exporting your contact list in CSV, which many other websites were using to "import" new users. You can still get the contact list via screen scraping, but without email addresses, so creating a good "user importer" from LinkedIn has become (almost) impossible. Interesting is the fact that so far users data was the most guarded possession of most websites. First Gmail, and now Microsoft with their groupies are giving away their contacts.
