In this case, the CC license doesn't really have any effect on Facebook except if it gives them more rights than the TOS does. The license more applies to the everyone else. Being in academics, citations are important which is why I keep the attribution. Sure, if someone doesn't cite a tweet, it doesn't mean anything, but if I have a longer essay it does and I want to keep it simple for me. I'm also not really against letting people use things commercially, but I keep it non-commercial because I want to be notified and it may become an issue if the content was submitted elsewhere. Elizabeth,

Having worked in F/OSS for so long the "natural state" of things feels like they should be free. I've even loosened my feelings about Attribution considerably when it comes to my own content. Regarding your license, doesn't Facebook claiming ownership of the content in their ToS mean that it can be used by them commercially? Hurrah for Open Content!

People are dumb if they think they are getting any privacy from Facebook or Myspace. All they are doing is voluntarily supplying valuable info to huge marketing mills. Although there are ways to communicate with privacy: anonymous sites like http://www.anonboard.com I just can’t believe they went back on their TOS change.
