http://unfriend.io - Facebook application with over 8000 monthly users, ~1000 who use it every day.

How does this work? I just tried clicking through and it returned a list of friends who added me. If there was no list of people who deleted me, does that mean it hasn't happened? Was it working properly?

I think you have to have it enabled and when someone disables or unfriends you on Facebook, you will be notified.

Would like to sell www.recovermywebsite.com, free service which recovers pages from Yahoo/Bings cache. 1 of May I am starting a startup, and won't have time to continue the service. It should be possible to monetize it. It is built on Asp.net MVC with an NHibernate backend.

I'm going to assume that it saves a record of your friendships when you first login. Then every time you come back to the site it looks at your current friend list and tells you the names of the people that dropped off.

I really like this idea. What are your thoughts on monetization of this and getting more users on board?

Thanks! I built it last summer and posted it on a couple of forums but it's basically dead. It would be awesome if more people would use it though, in terms of monetisation I think some sort of 'Sponsored Curations' thing could work quite well, where companies can create their own lists and have them appear in users' feeds.

Nice but this cries for turning into a spam farm (think squidoo) as soon as it gets momentum.
