There are a number of no-nos on Facebook and this has to be one of them. Sandra Soroka, a New York videoblogger, posted a status update to Facebook that was her breaking up with her boyfriend (see photo below). That was a horrible decision by Sandra. Sandra ended up on the front page of Digg and began receiving an onslaught of harrasments. As Jenna Wortham points out, a series of sketchy events followed her status update and ultimately it has resulted in her pictures and social network profiles being removed.
Whether or not Sandra deleted her Flickr photos or had her account hacked, the breakup is definitely not a hoax. The lesson learned here is that breaking up with your significant other via a social network for all of your friends to see is not a socially acceptable practice. If you choose to do so and are a highly visible individual, don’t be surprised if a backlash ensues.
It’s pretty amazing that so many people are interested in the relationship status of this girl. Perhaps it’s because many have been waiting on her to become single again. Whatever the case is, Sandra has definitely learned her lesson and I’m confident that she won’t be making the same mistake again.

Give it 10 more years (or perhaps 5 will do), and this will be THE way to break up some relationship.. hey, it's handy.. and quite guaranteeing to work

I was assuming she was 16 years old when I heard about this originally. However, she is 26. That's about 8 years beyond where making this mistake is even acceptable.

COD I read your mind and even her pic looked young.. some people are just hopeless. My ex broke up with me in person then spread the personal drama onto peoples walls.. I thought THAT was immature for a 26 year old but this story is brutal.. ..I retaliated to my ex's public slander by updating my status with one of her "quotes" and she called the cops and threatened me with harassment charges…. dumb.needless drama people.. I learned my lesson though, just keep your personal lives off the internet (unless youre cashing in off it) and anyone dating someone whos life is e-public.. be prepared to be HUGELY dissapointed..
