Just a data point to keep in mind as we plug away in our web-bound semi-anonymous persona's: MySpace has jumped into "bulk user data sales". This means that if you happened to post any of the following: user playlists, mood updates, mobile updates, photos, vents, reviews, blog posts, names and zipcodes for the sales period, it will be available to anybody.
For what it is worth, this does not include friend lists...
In case those Facebook and Twitter users are feeling smug abut now think again. There is absolutely no reason why they will not do the same since anything you have ever posted - every letter and image - is owned whole cloth by the respective service provider. It is not like something as quaint as morality has ever gotten in the way of the bottom line.
