Since launching on Jan. 23, the app has "already hooked up over 100,000 couples," according to an e-mail from the three California college students who created the app. The app has also been called "The Evilest App Ever" by the student-oriented group InterVarsity Christian Fellowship USA, which says finding Facebook friends with benefits can only hurt loved ones, lead to marital infidelity and add unnecessary emotional baggage.
