A great article about trolls...
An article I came across on New York Times. It's about trolls. At first, I thought these people just want attention and enjoy getting the backlash and responses. But, there's more to that, much more.
A rather long article but it's a really good one.

Edited to include this link: (as it was mentioned in the article, I thought it might be better to give you guys some background about it).

This is about the incident that caught the attention of the nation, and to have people start questioning the effect of online social-networking sites have on people, especially teens as they have yet to learn and see the world. It's a sad story.

Thanks for sharing the article! Disturbing and enlightening at the same time...
Have you watched Untraceable?
nope... saw the trailer, know the plot. Any good?
It's kind of like trolls - movie highlights the insensitivity of society when on the internet and how everything is treated as a joke.
I'd give it a thumbs up for effect and plot, but don't go out of your way to watch it. =)
