I am thinking of precise reasons why these services want the e-mail addresses in the first place. Is it to create a social network graph of the email addresses?

I am thinking of precise reasons why these services want the e-mail addresses in the first place. Is it to create a social network graph of the email addresses? Does this mean that all of these small services have a social graph? That doesn't seem so bad given that most people have already given that to one very large institution.
