Facebook Breakup Notifier Tells You When He/She is Single

“You like someone. They’re in a relationship. Be the first to know when they’re out of it.” That’s the tagline for Breakup Notifier, an amazingly simple way to keep track of someone’s relationship you’re secretly stoking. The application works simple, it lets you log in, check off the friends you’re interested in and then once they change status of relationship it will email you.
Huffington Post got an email from the program developer Dan Loewenherz to explain how it works:

I got the idea on Friday night when my fiancee and her mom were talking about a guy to set up with my fiancee’s sister. Unfortunately, said guy was taken…so I asked them if they would want to get notified when he broke up. It was kind of a joke actually, but they loved it, and so on Saturday I spent about 4 hours building it out. I didn’t really tell anyone until yesterday.
I hope that people use it for good and not evil–it’s merely practical. If you’re going to check someone’s profile every day, you might as well get rid of the tedium and have the changes get delivered right to your inbox instead. When people don’t list their relationship status, Breakup Notifier reads it as “Unknown”. So if someone changes, you’ll get an email like the following:
“Hi Shirley,
Joe Shmoe has changed his relationship status to “Single” from “In a relationship”. Get on it!
Best,
The Breakup Notifier”

So seriously, this was something you can check out, instead of checking others profile day by day to check if he/she isn’t taken anymore.
