Jessamyn, on how social software makes post-breakup periods even more awkward:

I started this relationship before the dawn of most social software and the ubiquitous presence of “network” in my life, and I’m ending it afterwards. (…) Do I take my ex off my buddy list? Do I remove his blog from my RSS feed reader? Should I stop commenting on his Flickr pictures or block him from commenting on mine? How many passwords do I need to change? Do I deauthorize his computer from my iTunes store? Miss Manners has very little guidance on these matters and yet in my world many of these choices have implications as deep or deeper than if I was pillaging his CD collection or changing the locks while he’s away.
