FB and other social media posting analysis to help predict suicide risk. I hope FB does better at this than they do at running their business day-to-day. But, if the project can demonstrate some results, how cool would it be to find those who are giving hints of their intentions by what they're posting on social media. Then will come the challenge of what to do once someone at risk for suicide is id'd. I imagine there will be challenges about confidentiality, etc. but, if this can help avoid suicides - hurray! I'll be watching this one w/ interest.
