Facebook of the Dead

I have been bitten by a Zombie. And a vampire. All from the comfort of Facebook.

Among the 'rate my mates' and 'Simpsons quote of the day' applications on Facebook lurks a darker purpose, an endless battle being fought between Vampires and Werewolves, and Zombie mobs roaming the network 'biting chumps', until we all fall under the brain munching spell.

It's funny, but I also think it's interesting in tracking the path of a viral idea through a social network. I think Romero would love it, the idea of Zombie infection through the internet, thousands of us clicking away, adding friends, poking friends, biting chumps until there's no-one left...
