Facebook Fail

Today I present a tale of Facebook failure.
A few months ago, Ohio State released a study pointing to Facebook as the cause of poor student performance. Skeptics (like me) were
quick to point out that the study was flawed, and did not prove that Facebook actually
causes lower grades.
So Facebook can't be singled out as the cause of student failure... but could it be a determining factor? Recently two students were caught cheating...
thanks to Facebook.
No, the students didn't cheat on or via Facebook, but they did use the social networking site to brag about it. The Facebook conversations were used as evidence, and the students got big fat zeros.
Cheaters. Never. Prosper.
