>       But hold on, said Facebook. Another study -- this one
>       conducted in partnership with Facebook by Robert E. Kraut, a
>       professor at Carnegie Mellon University who has long studied
>       how computers affect users' psychology -- had a more upbeat
>       finding. It showed that using Facebook more deeply and
>       meaningfully, for instance by posting comments and engaging in
>       back-and-forth chats on the service, improved people's scores
>       on well-being.
