   @evan You mean by uploading my complete list of contacts to some shady online service? Sounds great. Not.

     @mardor what if your contacts never left your local device? what if you knew the operators of the service, at least by reputation? what if client and server are open source?

     @evan Still no. I would have to provide personal information of other people to this service. This information was not meant to be given away.
     What might be imaginable was a download of a list of all users of a service and a local search for matching accounts.

     @mardor if it uses 1-way hashes, you're not sharing much info.

     @evan
     I see, I am a bit traumatized by existing social networks whose aim is to collect as much personal information as possible. Hashes should work.
