[QUOTE="Geek, post: 2085416, member: 246624"] [IMG]http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/500x_breakuptext.jpg[/IMG]It's an admittedly small sample size from a start-up social network, but even so: that's ice cold. [URL="http://www.mocospace.com/"]MocoSpace[/URL] surveyed 20,000 of its 10.3 million members, and found that SMS is the weapon of choice for 47% of phone break-ups. Other disheartening statistics gleaned from the study: a third of MocoSpace users have used their phone to flirt with someone else while on a date, and 57% have used their phone to end a relationship. I don't know what that says about the state of American Dating, but I do think the moral of the story is don't get too close to a MocoSpace user. They'll chew you up and spit you out in 160 characters or less.
