Facebook Breakup Notifier

A new Facebook app called Breakup Notifier has hit the social networking scene, allowing people to be alerted when their crush has broken up with his or her significant other. But is the app super cool or just plain creepy?

"You like someone. They're in a relationship. Be the first to know when they're out of it," the website says. On one hand, it's a pretty convenient service, but on the other, it borders on stalker-like behavior.

Here's how it works: First, users log onto Facebook and load the app to their profile. From there, you can select all of the "taken" friends you're interested in. As soon as any of them change their relationship status, you'll be notified via email.

The app says that it'll notify you "whenever the relationship status of your chosen friends changes," so it may also work if you're crushing on someone who's single and you want to be notified in case they couple up.
