&#62; <i>That product was probably ahead of its time, it's not fully in the cloud and it's not free.</i><p>&#62; <i>The key enabling factor […] is a secure way to grant temporary access to […] your email to trusted developers out in the larger ecosystem […] - all without ever giving them your precious email password.</i><p>&#62; <i>The sky's the limit when you can quickly process huge stores of your own personal data, though.</i><p>Am I the only one that find that downright scary? Who wants a future in which several (not just one) profitable companies can access your e-mail <i>and</i> analysing it blazing fast? That may be a dream for some, but for me that's an Orwellian nightmare.<p>Here's a reminder, for the few that haven't seen it yet: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org/news/2010/feb/01/freedom-cloud-software-freedom-privacy-and-securit/" rel="nofollow">http://www.softwarefreedom.org/news/2010/feb/01/freedom-clou...</a>

Again, completely useless unless you are using Gmail. Wake me when they come out with a Firefox plugin that doesn't require Gmail.<p>Really cool, though (I'm referring to Rapportive).

Some of these sound useful but I think we could all do without the services that append more crap to your email. It's obnoxious.
