But it’s never too late. With Internet access and social media, the public can solve a lot of mysteries. They can share a lot of information already as fast as the speed of lightning!

This is another proof that crowd science has reached greater heights, http://www.crowdsourcing.org/l/525.

As it redefined social networking experience, it also gave the ability to put the public “input” via the facebook apps. there are ome negative aspects for this too. Yet facebook is just a tool. Just like a knife. Its we “the users” who take the advantage of it. So the result of the things we do depends on how we handle our tool. Zynga is a good example for that. ;)
