???? I read the article you pointed to and I don't see your point. The article was pretty badly written jumping around and not really giving any information other than some broad being thrown in a dumpster and some poor sod moaning on facebook.

So she wasn't arrested for poking someone on Facebook then.

She was arrested for breaking a court order - quite a serious offence.

If this was a story on the BBC News site about Andy Kershaw breaking his restraining order by contacting his former partner via Facebook, it wouldn't be laughed at.

What is commenting on this article other than a distration for the bored?

You can't demand respect, you must earn it. Facebook is just another distraction for bored people without a life as are cellphones for most people.

@John: Those on 'Farcebook' need to get a real life? This isn't MySpace, Facebook is an effective way of communicating with your friends. It allows you to "instant message" while doing homework/watching TV/on the computer in general, update pictures from REAL-LIFE events, and meet new people. Either you are 40 years old, or you have no friends.
@mogwai: I see you also think people on Facebook have no life as well, but I think I've already covered that. Next, you say the users are 'dramaqueens'. Ehh.. What? I just said this isn't MYSPACE, Facebook is the most popular social networking site in the world right now. Writing any profane language on any else's profile is grounds of a permanent ban. Facebook is geared towards people in high school and college and beyond. A little respect for one of the most popular websites on the internet would be nice.

Dana Hanna OBVIOUSLY created a fake account and poked HERSELF! There is no evidence showing otherwise and people who have no life (facebook users)tend to be dramaqueens and make life hell for other people. I doubt very much if Shannon even has a facebook account of her own..

Show me otherwise!!

Oh, cops are stupid for jumping the gun on this. Must be an inbreeder state!

Sounds like she's a head case and needs to spend some time in the Iron Bar Hotel. Let's face it, those on Farcebook need to get a real life...
