Social networks are more and more popular our days. My mom often says "When I was young..." and well, you know the rest. But nowadays, things have changed. People all over the world are at this moment are on twitter, facebook,etc, etc. Now the question is : "Is it always true what people say on these networks ?".
For example, hockey coach Pat Burns woke up one morning only to see a story of his death on the front cover. After TSN (the sports network) tweeted that Burns had died, other media outlets "jumped" on the occasion and in less than an hour, hundreds of tweets were sent saying that Pat was dead. It wasn't until coach Burns spoke himself with TNS that the case was set staight. I'm guessing that when twitter's creator Jack Dorsey invented this wonderfull site, he didin't think of that. But, twitter isin't necessarily a bad thing. You just have to know that you shouldn't start false rumors. So bloggers, do you think it's a bad thing ?
