Privacy should always be the number one concern with apps and websites. This is simply just sloppy.

Not when everything you put in is Public.

Respect your users.

Is it disrespectful that Twitter makes my tweets publicly available via their API?

That doesn't answer my question.

"Respect your users" is not a question.

You didn't pose one. I did, and you ignored it.

it was public on the site, not browseable. you needed to know the explicit url to your profile. there simply was no structure for it.

No structure? It was www.oink.com/{nick}, how is that not a structure? That's exactly the same structure as the zip.

Actually protecting the users should be. Maybe because I'm a Dad makes me lame like my father was before me, but...
