Strangles Alerts Facebook - Any Thoughts

[rockysmum]

Just seen this facebook page. Seems like a good idea to raise awareness. Becoming boring though and wondering what the downsides might be

down sides would be people post NON factual information, ie gossip not true facts confirmed by a vet,

then the bitching will start.

i would also think that due to the above, it could effect peoples reputations, and of course businesses,

I saw this.

In theory, a great idea.

In practice, it could come across as a snide dig by implication even though they say it shouldn't. Not sure and I think it will be gossip rather than substantiated medical fact or diagnosis.

Having looked at the page and seen the comments needed for an alert to be 'confirmed' I'm afraid I'd have to say I don't think it's going to be very factual.

A reputation could easily be ruined by someone with a grudge making false statements even though the information given is too vague to do more than frighten most people.

My vote's a negative I'm afraid.
