There is some javascript that is connecting to around 40 different websites. If you are logged into any of these sites already then they don't return a login prompt so the site knows that you are logged in.

#5The website knows more about me than I do! I can't remember the last time I logged in to Disqus or Blogger but apparently I'm logged in.
An app that notifies you the services you're currently logged in to, and helping you log out immediately, would be a good idea.
