"... Are you saying that tumbleblogs takes copyright over the content that people publish there? ..." Hey rms, no. Not copyright but control of content and through that the ability to infer. As you know I have this thing with letting third party sites have control of your data. For example by control I mean release this bit of information with "all rights reserved", another "creative commons, Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivs". I know these sites are easy to use, cheap and share. There is a cost. Maybe I'm arguing a point others don't care about. There is a better way to share. "... I thought that all the hosted blogging platforms let people own their own data. ..." What about meta-data? What about the logs. Depends what you mean by "their own data". I may seem to be arguing the extreme case but there are other ways you can share your data without third party social sites. It's just they haven't been invented yet. To put the third party out of business and take control of your own data is an interesting idea ... at least to me.
