Your passwords are supposed to be secret. Twitter will store your password in an encypted format. Their staff can't access it, and hackrs cant access if, even if they break into the site. But these guys can't do that. They have to store the plain text form, in order to access your accounts. If you value your Twitter password, then don't give it to Nutshellmail. The same goes for the other passwords that they ask you for. There's a dangerous trend of third party sites springing up around Twitter, et al and asking for your password. Some day, someone is going to fall foul o some serious scam. This is especially dangerous if you use the same password for your email. Once the bad guys have your email account, they have everything that has an "I forgot my password" mailback facility. Like, maybe your bank. A word of caution.

I especially follow tweets from LibDem, Alternative Libérale, MoDem bloggers and lesdemocrates.fr(the social media of MoDem Party in France)and ALDE.

For something like Facebook could we not provide a handout or pdf with advice on settings? Suggestions to turn on notifications for certain things and off for others. Personal messages on, photots off etc. Not an alternative so much as something simpler. For something like Facebook could we not provide a handout or pdf with advice on settings?
