People Lie On The Internet
and other news from the times

So a bunch of studies came out on internet personas, which seems like it would be really interesting. Unfortunately, if you've ever dated anyone from Match.com, you know more than the scientists do. And even more unfortunately, the Times reporter covering these studies has already done our job by being snarky about the results:

The scholars found it common for online daters to fudge their age or weight, or to post photographs that were five years old. Also, the world is round and the chemical symbol for water is H2O.

Har, har. You should consider a career online.

Still, the internet is interesting. And so is social networking and lying. So we decided to examine our own Facebook profile to separate the web fact from the web fiction.
