Valentine’s Day: Love in the time of Facebook

SANTIAGO. -  I’m getting married!....In exactly four years and one month according to Facebook. The online social networking site (a favorite among Chilean celebrities Piñera and Copano) is not only a great way to get in touch with old high school classmates, but also seems to have become somewhat of an oracle for love.

With Valentine’s Day approaching fast, Facebook is offering an endless amount of romantic applications for everyone ranging from those struck by Cupid’s arrow to those yearning for (and perhaps a bit jealous of) the thousands of pink hearts filling the malls this season.

Would you like to know when you will get married, how many children you will have, or what type of boyfriend/girlfriend you would make? You don’t have to wait for “el Día de San Juan” to brew love potions or cast spells; just answer a few short questions on Facebook and you will have your answer.
 
For those who have already found their soul mate, not only can they display their civil status on their profile; they can also send virtual gifts, dedicate songs, send messages, take compatibility tests, even check their daily love horoscope!  Way better than the whole “you hang up first, no you, no you…”
