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)
