Is Facebook making people sad? - Yahoo! News

Is Facebook making people sad? - Yahoo! News: "In addition to sparking bloody family feuds over denied friend requests, Facebook is depressing the heck out of people, according to a new study.
According to Alex Jordan, the Standford University Ph.D. student who led the study by the school's psychology department, the Facebook users his group monitored often grew saddened as they plugged into the accounts of the excellent leisure pursuits and professional triumphs that their peers post on the networking site. In short, the subjects in the study reported a gnawing sense that life was a party that they weren't invited to."
