No More Photos of the Ex on Facebook

Facebook has solved the problem of having to constantly see photos of your ex in your Photo Memories. Photo Memories are the pictures of your friends that sometimes appear in the top right corner on certain Facebook pages. Facebook uses an algorithm that tracks the pages and photos you look at and who you exchange wall messages with the most. That information is used to pick the photos shown in your Photo memories.

A group was formed to protest the photo memories product mainly because of the constant photos of their exes and yesterday Facebook announced that they were paying attention. Facebook will no longer show tagged photos of anyone you were in a past relationship with. It's nice to know that Facebook is paying attention to users and helping to ease heartache.

The only thing that I can see to being a downside of this is that A) if you are still friends with your ex or B) it was a fake relationship (as I have known people to put up) and it's really just their best friend or an inside joke.

That is too funny. I think that that's an awesome idea for people who are still really bitter about the break up.
