Welcome to ‘Breaking Up’ - a podcast about break-ups, love, and pop culture hosted by Isabella Shields. This week I'm joined all the way from New York City and San Francisco by the developers of Project Bluetick, Louisa and Grace. 

"A couple months ago, my boyfriend broke up with me. He told me that I texted too much and was too needy, so I decided to use data analysis to prove him wrong."

Louisa is also looking for more contributors to the SMS analytics so please submit your WhatsApp chats and work out who in your last relationship texted more, who was more affectionate, who initiated more, and a number of other factors in your online correspondence!
