Twitter Also Uploads Address Book to Its Servers And Stores it For 18 Months
Last week, a developer based in Singapore discovered that Path - the personal life-sharing service with more than 2 million users uploads the entire address book to its servers.
Path has since apologized for the lack of foresight, released an update version of the app, which explicitly requests users for permission to upload their address book to its servers and has also deleted all the address book data uploaded prior to that from its servers.

Another day, another reason to dislike Twitter. Am I the only person getting damn tired of social media companies tricking their users into allowing greater intrusion into their lives?

look on the brighter side of this guys. If itunes ever screws up a restore and you lose your contacts at least you know there are copies out there. I'm sure they'll send you a copy if you ask nicely.
