We saw creepy Facebook apps designed to help you automatically track status report to someone so that you'll be the first to know when he or she is unique, but an app called WaitingRoom is taking things further: it is actually helping you encourage a break.
Mashable reports that WaitingRoom was released shortly after — in comparison — much less terrifying Breakup notifier app was banned from Facebook and already is gaining popularity.
How does the app is that you install and enter the name and email address of the person you're interested in. This person will receive an email notification, announcing that one of his friends "want [he or she] had only".
Note that the email does not reveal the identity of the individual concerned.
This is because the object of your affections are supposed to install the WaitingRoom application in order to discover which only friend is interested in him or her — except that information will not be revealed until he or she is unique as well!
Thus reduces to this: the application creates a bit of mystery and encourages people to end relationships — at least as Facebook Status are involved — in order to discover their secret admirers.
You could falsify the changing status of the relationship in order to solve the mystery, but not all significant other would completely understand if you were to say "Hey baby, I'm gonna break with you for 10 minutes so I can extract this Facebook app and see who has a crush on me. Hope you don't mind! " Then, in theory, this app definitely could lead to an actual dissolution.
