So...I know everyone (including myself) is intrigued by the latest craze we all call Facebook, but the very mention of it is honestly starting to make me groan. I'm starting to wonder whether or not it does more harm than good.
This story that KELO's doing right now enforces my gut. A high school kid from Beresford (tell me again why facebook allows high schoolers to get accounts???) apparently created a hit list of classmates and teachers that he wanted to kill...knowing full well that every one of his contacts would see it.
First of all, facebook gave him an outlet to scare the hell out of people with.
Secondly, how come only ONE student reported him? He has to have more than one friend, and with the handy creation of mini-feeds, the heading "so-and-so wrote a new note called People I Want To Kill" showed up on every single one of his contact's home pages....c'mon kids...have some sense.
Everything I hear that pertains to facebook or is somehow related to facebook is negative. it causes relationship problems, friendship problems, misunderstandings, and it's very nature encourages everyone to release their inner stalker-demons...
hmmm, all this talk about facebook reminded me that I haven't checked mine in 2 hours...I think I'll just check it real quick....
kidding, just kidding, I'm really not an addict...or a creeper...
