Snark Alley: Can You Believe What Facebook Did?

by Dan White

According to a June 2014 study by social scientists at Facebook, Cornell and UC San Francisco,  emotions can spread among users of online social networks.

“People who had positive content experimentally reduced on their Facebook news feed, for one week, used more negative words in their status updates. When news feed negativity was reduced, the opposite pattern occurred: significantly more positive words were used in peoples’ status updates,” says Jeff Hancock, a Cornell University professor of communications. — Source: News.Cornell.edu
