Do you like someone on Facebook? I mean, like like, not just like... You know, stalker like. You don't have to worry anymore about constantly checking the target's profile. You can now be informed when the target is single again and pounce.
I really think we're screwed as a society when stuff like this happens. Well, maybe not just this.

When it comes to love, timing is everything. The same holds for sex, too. So the Breakup Notifier's eagle eyes and instant digits could help you ensnare the love of your life. Or at least your week.
Yes, it does feel a little like stalking. But in a good way. You don't want to miss your chance. Surely, all is fair in love and war. And, when it comes to love, it's always a war.
According to the New York Daily News, Loewenhertz created the app after he eavesdropped on a chat between his fiancee and her mother.
This is not always a wise thing to do. However, in this case, it was his fiancee's sister who needed a date, and, like fine members of the family, mother and sister wondered who might be available to fill that void.
Loewenhertz asked, jokingly of course, whether she'd like to know when he might become available. And one of the world's great ideas was born.
At the moment, the app is free. But it surely won't be for long. With love, you always have to pay.
