**Technology: Unrequited Love Lives - New Facebook App Helps You Meddle in Others’ Relationships**
By Erin Skarda | @ErinLeighSkarda | February 27, 2011
Hey, all is fair in love and Facebook, right?
If you're one of the three million Facebook users lamenting the loss of the Breakup Notifier — which was banished from the social site on Wednesday — don’t fret. A new Facebook app has hit the market, and it takes creepy stalking to a whole new level.

In all its glory, **WaitingRoom** not only notifies a user when their crush finally ditches that loser but also allows someone to tactfully (and secretly) meddle in existing Facebook relationships without being labeled a home wrecker (that comes later).
It’s simple: You use the app to indicate the friends you are interested in, which places you in their "WaitingRoom." An email is then sent to that person letting them know that someone is secretly hoping for the demise of their relationship. The kicker is that the whole scheme is kept secret — so the fact that you’ve installed the WaitingRoom app doesn’t appear on your profile or in your friends' news feeds. And the person you’re desperately waiting for will never know your identity until they change their relationship status to single. After 48 hours on the open market, the person's WaitingRoom is revealed, nonetheless dredging up feelings of disappointment and regret.

While this seems like a particularly underhanded way to find a mate, it could be somewhat gratifying to know that you’re wanted. Actually, NewsFeed looks forward to seeing the gems who will appear in our WaitingRoom. Hope to see you there! (wink, wink)
