Facebook and suicide

I'm not always a big fan of Facebook (even though I've been on there for over 4 years now) but I like this:

Apparently, it'll now be possible to report it if somebody makes a suicidal comment. That person should then receive an email from Facebook with info on who to contact - either to call a helpline or to talk online with a crisis worker.

Let's hope it works.
