People like to talk and gossip and spread communication instantly. And Facebook lets them tell hundreds of friends what’s on your mind simultaneously. All you have to do is update your status and your thoughts are published for the world to see. But people don’t just talk about themselves; they talk about sports scores and news reports and what Kim Kardashian just said on Twitter. Getting the news from your Facebook feed is becoming more and more common.
The bigger the news, the more people update their status. That’s how I found out about Michael Jackson dying, that Bin Laden was captured, about the Dark Knight Rises massacre… Facebook is faster than CNN. Don’t mistake Facebook for fact until a credible news source can back up the story. And don’t believe any rumors about a celebrity falling off a cliff or dying in some other ridiculous manner.
