The only thing I hate about international death watches is when folks on Twitter and Facebook start jumping the gun and killing off people who are still alive. For example, as of 9:30am this morning, Nelson Mandela is still alive on life support.
Note to bloggers, Twitter and Facebook folks: When fact checking a Twitter or Facebook post about someone’s passing, please don’t reference Facebook or Twitter. Take the time to check several national and international websites before reporting anyone’s death. Let’s be more responsible!
Here are a few examples of folks who have killed-off Nelson Mandela via Twitter:
God bless Nelson Mandela. Further proof that one person can always change things. #RIPMandela

“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” #RIPMandela
