Facebook Killing; watch your status

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/7676285.stm
The above link is an article stating...
"Wayne Forrester, 34, told police he was devastated that his wife Emma, also 34, had changed her online profile to "single" days after he had moved out."
I personally know a bunch of people in which their relationship status can be so contraversial.
These are jsut a few of the crazy problems that become associated with new technologies. People are streaming their deaths online and today a facebook status can be the death of you. I'm not saying people are going to start doing this, its just that crime and laws have to advance themselves with the growing technologies. Facebook is going to become a tool for law enforcement, and especially in domestic abuse cases. How do you feel about this tragic news? Do you feel you are putting too much information that can physically hurt you??

Social Networking can be harmful to your health

Above is a link to this article on online networking and health issues.

"Dr Aric Sigman says websites such as Facebook set out to enrich social lives, but end up keeping people apart".
"He also says that evidence suggests that a lack of face-to-face networking could alter the way genes work, upset immune responses, hormone levels, the function of arteries, and influence mental performance". The implications of these alterations can have a serious impact on your health. Dr. Aric goes on to say that it displaces people and isolates them physically meaning people will lack skills to read body language impeading our social skills.
My question to you all is... Do you find this imformation factual?? It was a peer reviewed and published journal by the institute of biology.
