An expert in data visualization, David McCandles, made a calendar of the most prone to breakups Facebook analyzing data for a year.
Is it possible to provide a break? The question may seem somewhat farfetched. And yet. David McCandless, an expert in data visualization, unveiled at a conference in Oxford in July, a timetable for separations created from data collected on Facebook, reports CNN .
His basic work? The Facebook status. For a year, David McCandless has received close to 10,000 records not on the "relationship status" of users but the use of the words "break up" or "broken up".
The chart in spring is sometimes very surprising. The periods most conducive to the separations are in the early spring in March and the two weeks preceding Christmas. It is also clear that many couples break on Monday, when Valentine's Day and April 1.
Only one date remains sacred day of Christmas. "Who could do such a thing?" said David McCandless. (Source Europe 1)
