yeah but kind of unfair since im not a big twitter fan or anything like that, i just have it to see what is the hype about... but other tools have even helped me get work where i catually want, like linkdin, but they require to access your mailbox to see who do we know is in their service.
i think some people just need to be more patient and less leery... but overall this is a good practice.

Salutations;
Recently someone invited me to Twitter and I joined once again. Twitter asked me to check my contacts, and I forgot the 6 or 7 lists i am at are in my gmail account, so twitter must have sent an email to everyone in my gmail account which is a little bit more than 400 people. I had one person threaten to sue me (well in the end he didnt because he was a nice guy), because of this. I am very sorry.
Please don't sue me or complain to my ISP. It was a mistake. I apologize for everyone who got emailed. I have taken precautions this doesnt happen again.
Thanks!
Gilbert
But if you don't mind me turning this into a reminder/lesson for us to all pass to others (not using names or lists), this is just one small reason to never use those features where we turn over our address book.
There are more great reasons such as privacy and spam. (Privacy policies are only good until a company is sold or goes into bankruptcy; then names are sold.) I'm afraid many people do use these features and most young people are so used the net that they do it without thinking and won't see any of the reasons.
