A new Facebook app that immediately alerts users when someone on whom they have a crush changes their relationship status is causing a stir. To some it might be seen as an invasion of privacy, to others the ultimate tool to find out when a crush becomes available. But to US-based Dan Loewenherz, 24, who is the founder of the "Breakup Notifier" Facebook app, it was a joke, at least to begin with.
Although Facebook lets users view the relationship status of any friend at any time, the Breakup Notifier app alerts you automatically via email, removing the need to check constantly. The idea came from overhearing a conversation Mr Loewenherz's soon-to-be fiancee and mother-in-law were having, he said in a telephone interview with this website.
