Australian singer Kate Miller-Heidke has a pretty strong response to the question “Friends with your Ex on Facebook – yea or nay?”

The song is about an ex who broke her heart years ago and now wants to be her friend on Facebook. Her reaction: “R U ******* Kidding Me?”. She just doesn’t care “what kind of Cocktail he is” Instead, she says: “I don’t don’t give a toss if you’re a pirate or a ninja, I suspect you’d be a pirate but I don’t wanna verify it….and I certainly don’t want you poking me!” So instead of being friends with her ex on Facebook, she clicks “ignore”.

It’s all very “end of a relationship 2.0″!

To find out, we asked be2 members from 27 countries about their experiences with social networks. The results are surprisingly similar across all countries worldwide:

- Singles in all countries use social networks quite regularly. Brazilians use social networks the most, while the Swiss are noticeably less “sociable”, but overall, the results from all countries are similar.
- Most international singles aren’t mainly looking for friends on the Internet. But they do enjoy knowing people online, without ever meeting them „in the real world“.
- Even those singles who enjoy looking for friends on the Internet agree that those friendships aren’t real until they meet offline, too.
- More than 50% of the singles in this survey think social networks are important for keeping in touch with friends. Only the Swiss and the Norwegians disagree.
- In most countries, singles think looking for friends on the Internet is easier, because you know immediately what you have in common. The same goes for singles looking for a relationship online.
- The final question showed once more that Swiss singles are a little different when it comes to social networks. They are the only group that largely responded positively to the question whether social networks were the suitable place to look for a relationship. In all other countries, singles would prefer to know that they are among singles looking for a relationship – so they’d rather search for a love on a matchmaking site like be2.
