So did you hear about...

Now that we've entered the world of social media, it's time to explore. With communication comes assumptions, gossip, and rumors. Traditionally, these things are categorized as bad, but they don't always have to be. They can instead be seen as a way of communication that can establish friendships between groups. Many online assumptions seem to be end up being true, since lots of people post a lot online. So, maybe gossip can be seen as a form of knowledge. As long as it is used correctly and appropriately. For educational purposes of course.
