Limit data access for raplets?
Mixcloud sounds like it would be a cool thing to have in the rapportive sidebar. However, not knowing Mixcloud, I am not too keen to give them access to my email addresses and personal data in gmail. Are there usage policies in place to protect against rogue usage of that (prized) data? Would it be possible for Rapportive to act as the trusted intermediary in some way, so that my email addressbook stays secure? Thanks.

Hi Thomas,
All the raplets on http://raplets.com/ are written by people we’ve talked to, and trust to handle your data as sensitively as we do ourselves.
Obviously, there is a risk that one of these companies “goes rogue”, but we think it is very small.
That said, we do have plans to make it easier to understand what the risks are when you install a particular Raplet, as well as to run Raplets in properly isolated containers.
Would that address your concerns?
