M.G., I remember seeing that FriendFeed post, but didn't give much thought to it at that time.
I guess that guy will have to invest some time in building a new online identity. Or else admit that Uncle Ben's death was his fault. Well, you know what I mean.

I think the moral of the story is "train your BS detector" since there will always be BS on the I Internet, but it will only affect you until your detector hits a certain critical (no pun intended) threshold.

@anon - yeah true, just another thing to worry about...

Social Media Experiment? It's the lamest excuse possible. How long before someone charged with murder tries to pull it off as a defence?
Truth is, that news of any sort always needs verifying, else it is just speculation and rumour.
