#singpolymaTo wade very late into the hosting discussion: (1) I've had bad experiences with openvz containers in the past. They're not quite real VMs. (2) 256MB of RAM is plenty for just simple web hosting (I have operated on a bit less successfully as long as the load was small) -- especially if you don't need PHP/Apache and can use something good like Nginx (3) if you want decent hosting with full system access and an admin who is likely to install thin
#mkowenstantek: I would assume they would. Why wouldn't they? It's content that you create on their service, and I would imagine their terms specifically state that the content is "owned" by Twitter to do with it as they please.
#mkowensNow, I don't think it necessarily *should* be that way.
#tanteknot quite no - Twitter's TOS doesn't claim to "own" the tweets, only that you grant them a license for various kinds of (re)use
#tantekthat's what makes this interesting, the judge is going above and beyond the company's own TOS
