Free 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.

You 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)
Not sure what Facebook's policies say about these sort of notifications though.
One of the most effective ways is publishing updates to the user's wall. However in this case it's tricky. You don't want everyone to know that you'll be notified when Pamela is single.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Undisclosed? "It's complicated" seems more appropriate in that case.
Isn't "it's complicated" just Facebook jargon for "unhappily polyamorous"?
Fucknemeses would also seem to be an appropriate use-case.

A 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 highe…
This is the most pointless, trivial, absurd, creepy app I've seen in a while. Signed up. I think it will be massively successful!

The account got a mention on MSNBC; I have no idea why.
I literally laughed out loud when I saw this... great project. I'd start checking the Twilio blog ( http://blog.twilio.com/ ) for contests and implement their API to do SMS and Call notifications, you might win something.
Hahah, thanks :) With SMS & Call notifications, this could get really out of control. Just imagine...a hot girl you like ends her relationship, and with the Twilio API, Breakup Notifier automatically sets up a "rebound call". Beginning to fear for my morals.
