Show HN: Text and Sentiment Analysis Add-on for Google Spreadsheets

Interesting idea and very well done. Just one question; why does it require all these permissions to get started:<p><pre><code> 1 - Know who you are on Google 2 - View your email address 3 - View and manage your spreadsheets in Google Drive 4 - View and manage data associated with the application 5 - Allow this application to run when you are not present 6 - Connect to an external service </code></pre> I am specifically concerned about the first and third items.

Interesting tools. Developing plugins for web browsers makes it easier to work with these sort of analysis systems.
