Knowing With the Help of Facebook Whether A Relationship Will Last

The Internet and love are two issues that are encountered together more frequently lately. Just recently, a study showed that relationships and also separations are now made public, especially in social networks. Apparently, the general idea of romance has changed a bit in recent years, because the “online-check” of one’s sweetheart is now the rule rather than the exception.

It is known that most of the social activities on the net take place on Facebook. Thus, a huge data stock can be found there which provides information about the relationships of the individual members and, of course, about the current relationship status – whether you are in a relationship, with whom, and for how long. With the help of a new algorithm, Facebook is now able to exactly calculate for how long the relationship will last!

In order to make this statement, data and contacts of more than 1.3 million Facebook users have been examined for a period of two years. Solely on the basis of one’s contacts it can be found out what person the user is in a relationship with, because each partner has his or her own circle of friends whose only connection then is the couple itself.

Quite interesting is the statement that couples who don’t fit that structure will probably separate within the next 60 days! That means, if you don’t manage to connect to your partner’s circle of friends, you might not be meant for each other and chances for a long term future together are rather low.

In other words, if you are serious about your relationship you should quickly acquaint yourself with your partner’s old school friends or colleagues.

56% of Internet Users Check Their Own Digital Footprints

For more and more people one’s own reputation on the net is becoming essential. Negative information about themselves and their own names can quickly affect both professional and private life. Therefore, it is important to know what is published on the net about one’s own name. The first impression usually counts. In order to protect one’s own reputation it should be regularly checked what – e.g. potentially harmful – information about one’s own name is available on the net.

According to the latest study conducted by the Pew Research Centers, 56% of Internet users have already searched for themselves online: they regularly enter their names into search engines such as Yasni or Google to get an overview of their digital footprints.

In 2001 only 22% of web users said they paid attention to their own reputation on the net. At that time, probably most of them searched for their own name for the sake of curiosity or vanity. It has now changed significantly, because today it is rather careless or naive to completely neglect one’s own digital footprints.

But is it really convincing that 44% of Internet users have never searched for their own name? Maybe it’s just a little misunderstanding.
