The only thing that occured to me was as a security exploit: for
example you could have a little bit of script that uploaded all the
connections the user had made. But even this is pretty weak, at least
compared with security holes inherent other products (i.e., if *I*
were a hacker, I'm sure I could keep myself busy for a lifetime just
exploiting the security holes in the various Microsoft products).
