I am a very young woman (mid-twenties) and I was very recently widowed. I am so thankful that facebook added that status- I am certainly not “single” quite yet, much less “seeking a relationship” etc. I feel like that status is considerate of facebook even if (thankfully) most people in my age bracket are not widowed nor know anyone of similar age who has been widowed.

Yo, Facebook, here’s another idea: put the City/Town in the Where line for Events. It’s just as obvious a need as Widowed for relationship status. I even started a petiton group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/create.php?success=1&customize&gid=133403480822#/group.php?gid=133403480822
