Six Ways to Break Up Over Your Computer or Cell Phone



2. Mention the break-up in your Wikipedia bio -- just make sure your ex doesn't sell your stuff (on eBay)


Many people trust Wikipedia for somewhat reliable information, but few would expect that its founder would use it to broadcast the end of his relationship. Jim Wales used his creation to publicly announce that he was no longer seeing former Fox News correspondent Rachel Marsden. After posting the information to Wikipedia, Jim personally gave her the news -- via IM. Validating the old adage about a woman scorned, Marsden then leaked some sexy chats between the couple and even sold some of Wales' stuff on eBay. We can only wonder what other creative ways she could've found her revenge with Wales via the Internet.
