All my photos are instantly available for sharing/comment. I am not worried about email password, coz you can change it. I would like to see some filters and more control over the indexing. Like, I don't want to index my documents/files or I don't want to index photos that are send from me. I would love to see a section for music as well. If it can find all the music and lets you play with a flash player (like gmail does), it would be awesome. I liked the results. All my photos are instantly available for sharing/comment.

But emails are mostly for serious stuff - including your business conversations etc... it's your basic communication choke point. Check out your major email inbox and see what % of your conversations related to business. That's the difference, at least to me. (I agree some people do not care any online privacy at all.) There is nothing wrong to ask for passwords to people basic communication choke points.. but it will just make alot people uncomfortable. Making a few thumbnails is hard to justify that. Just my opinions though. @Jason

We can for sure develop a very cool service (and integrating every piece of data from all of your accounts) and add values to your life. Folks, converting a few images and building an index are easy.
