Facebook Analyzes the Impact of Love On Their Business 37
c0lo writes "Facebook might understand your romantic prospects better than you do. In a blog post, the company's team of data scientists announced with hard numbers that hints at budding relationships before the relationships start. The two people enter a period of courtship, during which timeline posts increase. After the couple makes it official, their posts on each others' walls decrease—presumably because the happy two are spending more time together (and less on FB?!) A subsequent blog entry offers an insight on break-ups: it is the last of a series of 6 blogposts that ran last week on the "love" theme."

So, as a corporation governed by the bottom line, should we be expecting Facebook to subtly sabotage budding relationships to stimulate Facebook participation?
