Before I spend $120 of your tax dollars, does that particular article cover the kind of massive breaking of connections that were attributed (incorrectly as it turns out) to Zuckerberg? Even though the story was false, it seems possible that social networks might fragment in that manner over a subject controversial enough.
P.S. There was a lot of status and tweets that were extreme for one side or the other, but the Zuckerberg story was a Web parody that was picked up by a number of legitimate news-sites before they realized the fake. It's kind of like the TV station that broadcast the prank pilot names of the Asiana flight. Which brings up yet another ObComplexity: How does one account for the apparently increasing number of false reports that are coming up in the WWW news network/blogosphere due to the rapid cycle of social networks and Web news?
