Amazing Facts About Facebook And Breakups
Have you ever wondered when people break up? Look at the graph below.
I watched a TED talk the other day from David McCandless called “The beauty of data visualizations“. It was quite amazing and included lots of different datasets. One of them was about Facebook and breakups. David and his team scanned over 10 000 status-updates and set out to learn more about when people broke up. This is what they learned:
A big peak right before Spring Break
Most breakups are announced on Mondays
People like to start the summer being single
A big peak right before Christmas
The lowest day throughout the whole year is Christmas Day (thank God)

"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

Re: Facebook & Breakups: Watch out for these months...
I have just witnessed a break up between friends. She would announce all their problems on FB, a habit that all her friends and her BF did not like.
I am starting to loath facebook. I must make a rule, if you post anything other than something witty, something happy, or something about having a great weekend then I will delete you as a friend. I have enough issues in my life, I don't need to see other people's relationship issues aired in public.

What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

Hee Hee I agree there.
Found out my half brother and his wife were separating when they changed their statuses to "It's complicated" and "Single" respectively.
