...found that Internet rumor discussions tend to follow the same "sense-making" path that face-to-face interactions do: People bring the rumor to the group, they set forth hypotheses and provide information, opposing camps sometimes arise, the hypotheses are evaluated, and either a consensus is achieved or the group splinters on this point.

"It will create a buzz, but I don't think it will create a very deep feeling of religion," said Guillaume de Galard, 32, exiting mass on a recent Sunday in downtown Paris.
