The year is supposed to be the first year the work was created. You can do 2008-2012 if you want though (and let the end year automatically update). But since that's the assumption if you don't include the end year, there isn't any reason to do it.

Facebook © 2012 The content of Facebook wasn't first created in 2012, so I'm not sure if you're correct. In fact, I've noticed that the majority of sites don't include a date-range. Regardless, thanks for the info.

Didn't Facebook just update their website thus having a new copy write?

No, it's a mistake, they should have left the original date. If you update it you are supposed to do year, year, year or a range.

I don't know. They might have; but I doubt Microsoft, Yahoo, and Twitter did as well.

What IS interesting is that you can actually put in any other domain and find the results of malware diagnostics.

http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://ok... (one Czech discussion server I visit time from time)

and so on.

I still doubt that Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, Twitter, etc. are all mistaken in listing the current year in their copyright. That seems implausible.
