BBC news - what is planking?
A news story today about how an Australian man has died due to a FaceBook fad.
He was doing something dangerous (balancing on a balcony rail) in order to get noticed on a 'social networking' site.
How much is FaceBook to blame for this?
Is this an acceptable cost for the use of technology?
I suppose it's like driving cars - we know some people will die, yet we still do it. We can add all kinds of safety features without ever making it completely safe.
