I won't be able to fb stalk people anymore...
This is terrible news. I have to choose between not knowing what's going on in other people's lives, or being the stalky freak girl that looks at everyone's profiles.

Personally I found Hi5 ( and Tagged too) to be nothing more than a knocking shop.....which is why I left both of them. I seemed to attract quite old men , which is yuck when you think of my age, offering to take me all over the world....blurrghhhh. :frown:

If this was actually implemented would the way you use facebook change?
Would you stop looking up that hot one down the road?
Would you spend less time on facebook?
Would the world end?

ut you have to accept friend request to let people see your profile. So what is the point of knowing what people, you have allowed to see your profile, are looking at your profile.

Not true.

You can see somebody's profile if they're in your network and don't have privacy settings on their profile. Most people don't have full privacy settings on their profiles.

I would find the refresh button and click refresh on the page fifty times a day of someone I knew for three weeks and then call them up and act completely normal and see how creeped out they got :smile:

I'm still receiving e-mails from Hi 5. I went on it the other day and noticed that it was reminiscent of 2006's Myspace except with the allure of an old sardine from said year; which has had a time bomb fitted into it.

It wouldnt stop me using it. For me its basically the most easy way of communicating with my friends from uni or from travelling. I couldn't care less if someone has been looking at my profile, there's not much personal information on there just a handful of pics I've been tagged in and a basic few lines of my interests and favourite movies etc. As for looking at other peoples profiles I generally just look at the pics that have come up in the news feed, of friends who are in interesting places (eg at the rugby league world cup, on the great wall of china etc).

When people say they are 'stalking' someone on facebook, all they are doing is looking at pictures which that person has posted in a public forum, or reading messages which they have written on somebodys wall, in a public forum. There is an element of narcissim on facebook, when you post a load of pics its because you want people to look at them, its hardly stalking. If there was a way of viewing peoples private messages to each other then that would be more like stalking.

It's possible to use facebook for stalking purposes, ie work out from someones profile where they work/where they are attending on a certain night etc, and go over and harass them, but all the other person needs do is stop being friends with you or change their privacy settings and it stops.
