    I would have to agree, since people often go straight to wikipedia before using google, whereas the closest competitor to FB is twitter, and they are completely different means of social networking.

    I would just google it. It was just a rumor that started and I can't seem to find it. I can only find links that states it was a rumor. My wife came across it when on her FB and clicked the link, sadly it was loaded with viruses, which have been promtly removed.

    I like messing with my wife by going into the security settings and blocking FB every now and then. What makes it great is that even after showing her how to undo it, she never remembers. Some people spend way too much time on FB.
