We see lot of use things on the internet..but all the informations available on the internet are not reliable.... especially on social networking sites...almost 80% of the facts and informations that appear on the Facebook is just hoax....

I refuse to believe many things on web, at first blush. I like to know where they come from and who is pushing them

How do you decide what is authentic? It is so difficult! Trusted news sites, perhaps?

@pgntwo It ain't easy, but there are newspaper websites and some blogs who over time have proved to be accurate, but not always so I guess it is salt with everything!

If I see information on here I don't take it as the truth until I can find a minimum of 3 independent confirming sources. Too many people take anything they see on the net as being true and it is extremely damaging to society.

My son told me about a giant crab he saw on YouTube stating that it was confirmed real. I told him it was probably fake and we looked it up on snopes and I was right it was a hoax. He was quite bummed as he thought it was so cool.
