Hi Bobbi

Good point. Despite the controversy, most people are going to keep using Facebook. I don't see that changing but perhaps this controversy will have created more of an awareness about the importance and implications of a terms of use and the licenses they contain.

Zuckerberg's post does clarify Facebook's intentions but the terms of use should reflect those intentions better. These terms of use don't and while I am slow to suggest Zuckerberg is being dishonest in his post (I don't know much about him so it isn't fair to suggest that), the fact that the terms of use remain as they are should temper the message in his post.

Thanks for the link to my post.

Hi Jim

Thanks for the link and for your post. I would be very concerned if I was a creative professional uploading my content to Facebook or linking to it from Facebook and I would be loathe to publish my content on any site that does not respect my licensing choices or my right to control my content and data.

Re: Evernote on Symbian Series 60?

I agree with you there. A S60 app would be fantastic. I have been using Evernote more and more lately and it is still a little frustrating to have to rely on the mobile site. I am confident there will be an S60 app soon though although I would like to see an app that runs on both 3rd and 5th editions.
