Interesting Facts About Facebook and Break-ups [infographic]
Oh’wow, take a look at how clever this FUNK YOU FACEBOOK INFOGRAPHIC!
Have you ever wondered ‘when’ people break up? I haven’t but this might be of help to you newbies. Better safe than sorry you know what I mean.
Apparently, people like to start the summer being single – who knew? but don’t take my word for it, here’s David McCandless presenting his team’s findings at a TEDTalk about ‘when people break up.’ Research was collated from over 10000 status-updates…Research Ha!
- A big peak right before Spring Break
- Most breakups are announced on Mondays
- People like to start the summer being single
- A big peak right before Christmas
- The lowest day throughout the whole year is Christmas Day… too busy unwrapping material stuff to care I guess (note-to-self: more gifts :P)
David McCandless turns complex data sets (like worldwide military spending, media buzz, Facebook status updates) into beautiful, simple diagrams that tease out unseen patterns and connections.
Good design, he suggests, is the best way to navigate information glut — and it may just change the way we see the world.
I really love TED though, so I guess I can forgive you, Facebook…You conniving mother hub. Now where is that falling-in-love-‘where’-graph?
