Facebook.

It runs lives.

I wonder if now, because of Facebook, people don't decide to be in exclusive relationships anymore. You meet someone, you date, and then comes the point where one used to have to decide to take it to the next level. I think now it works like this: there is a chance meeting, possibly some sparks. A given amount of time of continued meetings, like dinner, or drinks, or bed. And then, comes the time, where one, probably both, changes their Facebook status from "Single," to "In a Relationship." And then every person on their friends list gets notified that this is the case, with a nice little heart to symbolize the love that is being expressed via the interweb, and then there is no longer the need for any confusion on anyone's part.

And on the other hand, no one really needs to break up anymore either. One of the two people coming together to join forces "In a Relationship" could just simply change their status back to "Single." And everyone, once again, gets a notification saying so and so is single. Possibly meaning, if the other hasn't logged on yet, that everyone else knows before him, and that could lead to some great confusion. Shit.

The end.
