Good way to jump the queue.
Would work well with facial recognition on beauty.
Another idea: an unfriend notifier. (like with a twitter unfollow notifier)

Re: Show HN: Breakup Notifier
#22You could take the code base you have written and probably adjust just a few lines of code to turn it into an app that tells you when a friend dumps you on Facebook. This is actually what I thought you had built, and for me would be even more useful + interesting. (Or, open source the code and let someone else do it)

Re: Show HN: Breakup Notifier
#23A while back, I heard that Facebook can predict when two people in a relationship are about to break up, based on statistical patterns in account activity prior to break-ups.
I'm not familiar with the Facebook APIs or what sort of account activity is statistically significant, but that would be a cool app that's very similar to this. Log in with Facebook, and show which of your in-a-relationship friends has the highest probability of breaking up. Obviously harder than a notification after the break-up, but prediction would be cool and useful.

#24Free Version Notification Email:
X is now single.
Paid Version Notification Email (with semantic analysis!):
X is now single.
She broke up with her boyfriend because he didn't pay enough attention to her.
Lately she has been listening to Arcade Fire and eating cupcakes.
Click to phone X now - suggest getting a cupcake together.

That does sound damned cool, but would facebook give you access to that information?

#26This is hilarious. And fits nicely with the expression, "girls are like parking spots; the good ones are always taken."
This app is the equivalent of "circling" the lot instead of parking far away. Would make for good logo inspiration. :-)

#27I'm thinking the app would have to store the present status on its server in order to know of a status change. But isn't storing profile data server-side a violation of FB TOS?

Facebook isn't going to provide "probabilityOfBreakUp" in their API, but you might be able to build a factor model from accessible information; for instance, number of photos in which a couple are both tagged might be a statistically significant factor.
