Favit by Favstar.fm brings the funniest tweets to your iPhone
Don't know where to look for the funniest material on Twitter? Favstar.fm keeps tracks of the most-favorited tweets on the site, and delivers them all in one place. And now they've got an iPhone app that's even better! It's called Favit and its extremely simple UI delivers the laughs directly to your face, with no clutter involved. It even filters out boring tech tweets and celebrities, making sure you only get the funny stuff.Favit will show you a popular tweet, and the only decision you need to make is whether to give it a star or not. The tweets are all anonymized, unlike on Favstar.fm, which adds the extra element of trying to guess who wrote the joke in question. If you're curious, you can peek, but you have to favorite (or not) first, which removes bias. Favit is a good way to find funny people to follow, and it's also like having a constantly-updated joke book in your pocket. LOL!

How can it be legal that this FavIt developer is making money from other people's jokes? (i.e.: creative property) Especially with the tweets anonymized, Tim Haines isn't even giving credit where it is due. Nor does he offer an opt-out for Twitter users, thus commercializing off of other people's creative property without consent nor claim. He's not quoting. He's stealing. Unless a portion of all proceeds from sales go to all Twitter users, and an opt-out is offered, this application can not be legal.
