Over sharing?

Looks like Vassar made a mistake and sent some people acceptance e mails by mistake, what seems weird to me is that within a few hours most of them had told everyone they know about the acceptance, I blame facebook, even a few years ago the acceptance would have been corrected long before the recipient had a chance to tell their entire family, but not now thanks to social media everyone has their own paparazzi following them around reporting everything good and bad they do; perhaps their should be a twelve hour waiting period on social media posts just to make sure you really want people to know whatever it is you are tweeting or posting on Facebook
