SOCIAL media is incredibly powerful but also exceedingly dangerous.
The BBC has launched an internal inquiry after one of its journalists mistakenly announced that The Queen was dead.

It's made me feel a lot better about the time news broke that William and Kate were having their first baby.
In a desperate rush to break the news, I Tweeted: "The Duchess of Cornwall is pregnant!"
Luckily, Prince Charles isn't one of my followers.
