Yet another story to localize

Here is another story that can easily be localized. I think the lead speaks for itself:

FACEBOOK users may feel socially successful in cyberspace but they are more likely to perform poorly in exams, according to new research into the academic impact of the social networking website.

The majority of students who use Facebook every day are underachieving by as much as an entire grade compared with those who shun the site.


The story also shows how news is truly global -- the research was done at Ohio State University, will or has been presented at a meeting in San Diego, and is being written about by a newspaper in London. How about that!
