Buried in this Reuters article is a paragraph stunning in its implications for journalism, even if only by accident:

Kerviel could not be reached for comment. A headshot of him cut from a trading Website showed an earnest-looking young man. At the start of the afternoon, when his identity was revealed, he had 11 friends listed on the facebook.com social website. That number later dropped to four.

I’m speechless. Welcome to the social web?
