Snopes  — 

First and foremost, I can honestly spend hours at a time on this site- that's how interesting it is. This site investigates everything that could possibly be called an "urban legend" and tells its readers the truth. However, this is not only a good way to find out whether that thing that supposedly happened to a friend of a cousin of a friend is true. It has information about, well, pretty much everything people are talking about. If you could possibly wonder "Is that possibly true?", you can find out on snopes.com. They've even thoroughly researched things like Barack Obama's true religious beliefs, perhaps even more so than any news station.

This site is even better than the sum of its parts- it is written very well. The articles are extremely objective and show both sides of any given story, and it's entertaining, too. It is also organized well, and it's really easy to find things. You don't even need to click on the article if you're just looking for a basic answer (but I would recommend reading about it, too :]) I would most definitely recommend this site to anyone trying to figure out the truth or just trying to figure out how to waste an hour or so.

Is it true that the government is gleaning info from all facebook accounts?

I agree, Snopes is a good source for determining the accuracy of many internet reports. :>
