Nevertheless, you explained it very clearly. May I still wonder why you would forward all your Tweets to Facebook? Isn't Twitter supposed to be Twitter and Facebook supposed to be Facebook? There uses are definately not similair to me.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('320388','Maartje'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('320388','Maartje','I think these uses can be applied to all Twitter users, even keeping track of the breaking news is something not only journalists should do.\r\nNevertheless, you explained it very clearly.\r\nMay I still wonder why you would forward all your Tweets to Facebook?

My gut says it's a bad idea to quote tweets because you have no way to verify who the person is. The twitter handle may be Kimberly Munley, but how do you know it's really her. However, I'd argue tweets are public, so -- while I'm not a lawyer -- it seems like a person couldn't really claim that he or she needs to give permission. I think it's more a ethics issue -- than privacy. As a journalist, I'd stay away from quoting tweets unless. 1. I'm really sure the person is who I think it is. 2. I'm quoting them anonymously just to give a sense of what people are saying about a topic that's not libelous. (For example, if you wanted to make the point that a reason snowstorm was huge, you could, I think, reaonsably quote tweets that say .."I've never seen this much snow.")<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('28447','Gina Chen'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('28447','Gina Chen','Interesting question.

However, I’d argue tweets are public, so — while I’m not a lawyer — it seems like a person couldn’t really claim that he or she needs to give permission.

I was struck in the recent Ft. Hood shootings how newspaper articles quoted Kimberly Munley's tweets. I'm assuming they didn't have her permission because she was wounded, but I also assume you don't need permission to quote someone's tweets.
