This is what happened to Robert Scoble, for example.
There's seems to be an asymmetry, here. All I get out of it is convenience (or am I wrong?). You, on the other hand, get to sniff around my data. On top of all that I'm the one taking all the risk.
Doesn't seem like a very good value proposition to me.
This section in your "privacy policy" doesn't really me eager to jump on board, either: "Atomkeep.com may use personally identifiable information collected through our website to contact Users regarding products and services offered by Atomkeep.com and its trusted affiliates. We may also use information collected through our website for research regarding the effectiveness of the website and the marketing, advertising and sales efforts of Atomkeep.com, and its trusted affiliates."
Oh, ok, so you're going to get me to give you all my data and then you're going to target ads at me. Super-duper.
However, Facebook is not the only one network that we target to.
Thanks.
Trust me, Facebook doesn't care. Having me giving your credentials and then logging in on my behalf will get me banned.
"However, Facebook is not the only one network that we target to."
No, but here's a question: of your target audience what percentage have a Facebook account?
Not that it matters. Most social sites (or the smart ones, at least) have a policy against automation. LinkedIn stopped NotchUp using the same rationale, for example.
Can you be forthright? Let's say I sign up to your site and give you my Facebook and LinkedIn credentials. What, exactly, are you going to do with that information?
If I delete my account will all of my information on your servers be deleted? Will you ever send me notifications -- whether via email, IM, InMail, Facebook message, or whatever else -- that contain advertisements targeted based on the data I handed over to you?
It's very imporant to note, that when using Atomkeep - it just gives the same functionality as browser-based "Autofill", but on the Web. There is no any fetching of friends data, photos, e-mails, messages, whatever else. Just the data you have with Atomkeep, and the data you want to change/update.
No, we are not sending any kind notifications at this point of time, and we don't plan to include advertisement anyway.
What we actually planning, are new services that you can benefit from, basing on ability to manipulate the data.
In fact, you don't have to give us any credentials to other networks to use our site.
Thanks!
Or am I mistaken?
So, right from the start, there's a trust issue. I suspect the trust issue will be bigger than you think because of your target audience.
It's clear from your home page that you're targeting professionals and not, say, teenagers. That's the aesthetic, at least. But these people are going to be the most particular about what you do with their data.
That is, you're targeting the data-conscious and then asking them to give you access to their data.
