Now your cyber stalkers can be notified via e-mail when you change your relationship status. through a new application on Facebook. The Facebook Break-up Notifier is easy to use and as CNN.com reported, will probably be super popular. The application let's users select certain friends that they want to be informed of when their relationship status changes.
In theory, the application can be used by your friends who want to keep up with what's going on. But that's only in theory. The app is perfect for those of you who have your eye on someone who is "in a relationship". You can use the app and not have to constantly check that person's page to see when they inform Facebook that they are now single.
This is taking social networking to a whole new level. It's a little creepy to think that someone would want to be notified at the exact moment I change my relationship status. Facebook is a fun way to connect with people but it's almost becoming a little dangerous. Their "Places" feature let's you check in at various places, giving the people that view your page your exact location. There are privacy settings, but people can always find a way around them.

The new app has become as some would say “too much”. I can understand someone periodically checking someone’s page to see their status, (who hasn’t) but to go as far as to providing an e-mail to those who want to know your status is a little outrageous. In my opinion if you want to really know what that person has going on, just continue checking their “social” page not get personal alerts to what’s going on. I think some people go to the ends of the earth for the smallest things and this is one example.
I think this is a bad idea, there is already enough haters in this world. This app will really draw in the haters. I don't need people checking to see my relationchip status and who i'm dating. I think this is a very bad idea. But, who am i to say what goes on facebook.
I've actually heard from a few people I know that Facebook is the cause of their relationship falling apart. I've deleted my Facebook several times just because I get frustrated with things like that, but I guess whatever you don't want people to know (like who your'e in a relationship) don't put it on there. I have recently seen a new FB app that tells you the top 3 or 5 people who view your profile and how many times they view it a week. Yikes...I think we might all hate that one.
