#102This just came across the news ticker on CNN. Congrats?

#103The fact that this domain wasn't taken restores some semblance of my faith in humanity.
But now it is. Is your faith zero-sum?

#104As a lot of people said already, this is very creepy. Yet, there will be tons of users who would use this...
By the way, can you get notifications on multiple people? (now, that's really creepy)

I see. I think people are being too sensitive.
Your comment isn't offensive to me, but I it looks like it is because of the disclaimer, which you don't need. If you turned: "It's cool to support gay people and all, but if I'm straight I shouldn't have to look at all the dudes when I'm clicking who I'm interested in." into: "If I'm straight I shouldn't have to look at all the dudes when I'm clicking who I'm interested in." I don't think people would misunderstand…
why should he have to be sensitive at all? It's his opinion.

#106great idea. this is actually how my wife and i met. no joke. i had just ended a long relationship and changed my status on facebook. she noticed and started messaging me.
People have started relationships on/through Facebook that have turned into marriages. A bit of a blow to the part of me that thinks of Facebook as new.

To be understood better. People communicate to convey info.

Re: Show HN: Breakup Notifier
#109If I'm honest (and I'm hoping you're welcoming of honest feedback be it positive or negative), I think this is a ludicrous idea.
The problem with something this polarising is, I fail to see how it could grow into a product everyone might use, even if it is used begrudgingly. Unless there's something spectacularly clever that I've missed you're not going to ever win over people that are in the camp that I'm in and hate the very idea of it. I didn't like facebook when it came along, but I didn't hate it either. Hence why I eventually signed up for an account.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you are actually quite a decent developer, and that if this is indeed the case, please divert your efforts to something more beneficial to yourself and/or society. There are so many talented developers working on 'quirky' web and mobile apps who could provide solutions to problems that enhance people's lives and also stimulate the economy.
I'm not saying your efforts aren't impressive in themselves (if you're going by the andy warhol rubric of measuring your feedback in inches you've been quite successful already), just that they show that there's so much more you could do.

#110I was thinking of building a similar app. it auto posts to your friends wall on their birthdays. New level in automated relationships.
I thought of that, too, a few months ago. But several people had beaten me (and you) to it. (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=egsisas&xhr=t...).
