Kate's Party

Not sure if people have heard of this but a few days a go a lady named kate created an event on facebook. What started out as a simple party ended up as joke gone slightly wrong. Ok a bit of background on the story.. Kate invited a few friends to her apartment for a party. Kate however made the mistake of making the event open allowing people to invite who ever they wanted. Kates friends thought it would be funny to invite everyone they knew and then for those invited to invite everyone they knew etc etc. It soon turned from a few close friends to over 100 000 people invited to her small apartment in a South Australia. The party was of coursed canceled to avoid any sort of issues/problems.

However this demonstrates how easy a simple event can go very wrong if posted on the internet.. this has reminants of the whole Corey Worthington debarkle where he posted an invite on another social networking site myspace. He however intended to have a large group of people to come and well cause havoc which is indeed what happened.

There is also the whole issue of how easy things can go wrong if people put the wrong thing up on the internet or if others make a decision with the intent to use the information found to cause problems
