Run For Your Lives-It's a Virus!

Now the rumor mill is actively working and is spreading like wildfire throughout the internet. Beware! The Facebook Application that can devour millions in Nano-seconds (my own rendition). What is it about human nature that makes us want to believe in all of those monsters out in the internet sea?

The title is what got 'em (and almost myself, I hate to admit). That's exactly what good writers do. If they've created an emotionally charged title in such a way that people take it and run with it, then they've had success. However, the astute readers will continue to the end of the article and be the ones to calm the fears of those around them.
