Just got my SocialThing invite. Thank you. Signed in. First thing it wants are my Twitter and Facebook passwords.

Dudes, I don't know you this well. Err, actually -- I don't know anyone this well.

Yes, I know you want my Twitter password "to use the API." In other words, to fetch my followers? To tweet on my behalf? Will you store this? Will you tweet an ad for your service? What's all this? Not only do you ask for my password, you won't tell me how you'll use it?

And how the hell did you manage to make Facebook ask for my Facebook password when I'm logged in? Just grab an infinite session key. It requires me to check a box and hit OK. This thing made me suspicious and queasy.

And you know what? FriendFeed and MyBlogLog didn't ask me for any passwords. And they had lots more services for me to fill in than Twitter and Facebook.

So anyway. I left it at that for now. Perhaps I'll check back some time later to see if you still want my passwords.

I didn't expect a reply feature to be available this quickly. Totally rockin' out.

Pownce is working great too.
