Smart PR

This is a public service and smart PR.  Offering tools on Facebook to combat suicide is a logical extension of the social medium.  It is a creative use of the pages that depends on the friends and acquaintances of an individual to report their concerns.  This might be seen as a weakness, but who knows a person best?  Some see it as an invasion of privacy as well, but there comes a time when interference with one’s intent is good, especially if one is planning to take one’s life.  Kudos to Facebook for inserting itself into the well-being of its users.
