Are You A Facebook Stalker? Your Secret Isn’t Safe Anymore!

Maggie says:
Fri, 31st Jul 200910:11 am 

Omg, is this real?! That's ridiculous! Facebook should have given us a warning before implementing this app, especially when they were against the whole "showing whose pages you look at" thing before. =(

Marisa - Wesleyan Un says:

Actually, StalkerCheck compiles its data based on how many interactions (likes, comments, etc.) you and the person have had in the past month. It doesn't show people who simply look at your page.

thanks says:
Fri, 31st Jul 200910:31 am 

Thanks for the warning/update!

Carla says:
Fri, 31st Jul 200910:34 am 

Yup, i agree with Marisa. I've been looking at my friends profile, havent posted anything or interacted in his page but I was surprised I wasnt in the list!

Maggie says:
Fri, 31st Jul 200910:38 am 

Okay, I read over the article & it seems like you're kind of making a big deal over this. I tried out the Stalker Check myself & it wasn't even based on your Facebook activity over the years – only the recent activity that showed up on your wall. Also, if you just look at someone's Facebook & don't click anything, you won't be counted in the list of Top Stalkers. Please get your facts straight before freaking other people out about Facebook stalkig.

Anon Y. Mous says:

Marisa is correct. The application is misleadingly titled; it has nothing to do with page views. Rather, it uses an algorithm based on how frequently people comment on your activity, "like" it, post on your wall, etc. to develop a ranking list. Maggie is also right that you should be doing actual research before writing articles; taking a product's claims at face value without evaluating their accuracy is reprehensible in terms of journalistic ethics.

Alisha says:
Fri, 31st Jul 200911:52 am 

Yeah, real stalkers are completely protected by facebook's privacy rules..this app, nor any app to come, can show who looks at a profile/ how many times they do.

Faceboook would go under if there was a way to see that…

Erica says:
Fri, 31st Jul 20097:17 pm 

What an idiot. The person who wrote this article has a link to an article explaining about the application and yet doesn't have enough sense to actually read the article. How stupid can you get? If you are going to write shit like this, don't even bother writing another article jackass.

Anna says:
Fri, 31st Jul 200910:05 pm 

Yeah, cc writers: DO YOUR RESEARCH

The app shows how often someone does something like POST on your wall or LIKE your status, not views.

Liz says:
Fri, 31st Jul 200911:46 pm 

I personally find it aggravating that the last article I read on this site about ABORTION had an incredibly intellectual debate going on in the comments with no foul language or insult throwing to be seen and yet something as simple and light hearted as this article recieves such disgraceful commentary. I thought this community was moving foward positivly but I guess I was wrong.

Mon, 3rd Aug 20098:37 am 

does the application show if you check/view pics?

Tara says:
Wed, 5th Aug 20096:07 pm 

I don't think the app works very well anyway. A friend of mine screencapped her "Top Stalkers" page and posted it, and for some strange reason, I appeared on the list. I never visit her profile, like/comment on her status updates, or have any contact with her on Facebook. I don't think I've ever even looked at her pictures. :S

J says:
Mon, 10th Aug 20091:19 am 

how about if you save someone's picture to your harddrive, is there any way they can find out about that?

ally says:
Thu, 13th Aug 20091:12 pm 

it only judges on your wall postes, comments and likes. it says it right when the app is loading. it says "How does this work?

This application ranks your friends based on how often they interact with your Facebook wall. Interactions counted include wall posts, comments, likes, gifts and other public items posted to your wall. In accordance with the Facebook Privacy Policy, we do NOT count page views or private messages."

so you can creep people all you want and it still dosent show up ..

Rhoda Ochoa says:
Sun, 23rd Aug 20096:32 am 

It should be either or… Either the FB should count views, and be really up front about it, or, it should be completely anal about blocking anything that shows who has visited your profile or anything on it. The thing with "secret" tracking on a site that is generally thought to be tracker free is that people who are nosy, curious, and/or bored will become "stalkers"?! FB is still new for me, and I "stalk" dozens of people daily! Oh yes, even old boyfriends I never want to talk to again I could just see people reading way too much into it… "She wants me! Look at how many times she viewed my page!"

Freaked out! says:
Thu, 3rd Sep 20099:03 am 

Does it check when you click to see an album or click on a picture???

In other words, Stalker Check doesn’t appear to track page views, but rather keeps track of the clicks on your profile page only. So you can look all you want, but as long as you refrain from ‘touching’ a friends page, you’ll stay under the Stalker Check radar.

That's from the source. Duh I have commented on a few pictures of someone, does it mean I'm now hooked by this application? This sucks! Everytime I click on their profile I could show up on their stalker list? Wtf.

However, it’s drawing much skepticism and even outrage from users who know Facebook’s policy of ‘Recent activity will never be shown about whose profile you view’ and expect them to adhere to that. <— amen to this. They should take it down.

StalkerCheck has changed name as FanCheck.

- Official Fan Check.

Lol so you guys know. Apparently the other application has gotten too many reports or problems, so now they changed their name. I'm going to report this.

Freaked out! says:
Thu, 3rd Sep 20099:32 am 

Check this out: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Find-out-whos-check…
Find out who's checking your pictures !

Follow the 3 simple steps below to activate the application

►1. Click "Become a fan" (link is at the top)

►2. Next click on "Suggest to friends"

►3. Select all the friends you wish to include in the application and click on "Send Invitations"

You may aspect a delay of 24-48 hours before the menu shows up. In case of any problems, please verify that you followed the instructions correctly

So how does this not violate privacy settings huh? The person becoming a fan would give all of their friends names when sending the invitation. This really sucks.

I'm gonna keep browsing for info but refraining myself from posting not to bore you all lol.

It's worse than what Melissa thought initially lol

candy says:
Fri, 4th Sep 200912:28 am 

Hi!

What if I click on my friend's "see more comments" in my news feeds, will that count in her FANCHECK? thanks!

Victoria says:
Fri, 4th Sep 20096:28 am 

You know I don't get why everyone is so freaked out about this app—if you feel that your looking at someone's page a little too much you don't really need an app to tell them that you need to get a life. I don't care who looks at my profile or how many times they have—-I don't post things to FB I don't want the rest of the world knowing and if someone gets their jollies by looking at a g rated picture of me so be it. If your upset about the fact that people can see if your looking at their page too much quit looking at their page! And your ex and his 'skanky hoes' really? He's your ex just because he has moved on and you have not doesn't mean the girls he talks to are skanky—unless you are skanky too because he talked to you too remember?

brokenhearted says:
Mon, 14th Sep 20093:35 pm 

Is it true that if you click on someone's pictures and have interacted with them in the past – you are going to show up as a stalker????

My ex defriended me yesterday and I still do not know why???

I was definitely looking and clicking on the pictures and I am still dealing/hurt with the breakup!

Anonymous says:
Sat, 19th Sep 20094:56 am 

what if I am viewing pictures and personal information of a person who is NOT on my friend's list (i.e. he's not my friend)?

Is there a possibility that he can find out that I've been 'stalking' him?

OMG!

TrickyRicky says:
Thu, 24th Sep 20096:09 pm 

My opinion is that Facebook has a creepy kinda stalkerish element to it that is definitely a rather LARGE piece of the pie for them….

Oh yeah, and a lot of these questions, that sounded like genuine nervousness and worry- Why do you care so much if someone else could possibly see whose profile your checking up on—??

I say fuck it, stalk away- especially lookin at pictures of fine ass women, and I know that you women do it to us too =]

and it's F*ckin facebook- come on now people!!

Damo says:
Mon, 12th Oct 20099:07 pm 

You can still sign up under a fake name. Why do you think there are 300 million profiles on there. You didn't think there were 300 million actual people did you? And everyone is stalking someone, so who cares?

Ashley says:

I am just so relieved to know that other people stalk exes too. I was starting to wonder if I might actually have psychological issues. But recently all of his friends have been putting up privacy settings ;-( I thought maybe they knew I was looking at their pages. The part that sucks is that I really enjoyed reading one of his friend's walls – c'est la vie. No way I can try to friend him, that would look really pathetic . . .

The application isn't valid. I showed up on my friends stalker list and I haven't as little as looked at his page in the last 6 months.

Andrea says:
Thu, 24th Dec 200912:35 pm 

So, I'm pretty sure that application picks from your online friends and puts them on the list… I tried it three times and each time the list was different. Plus, I'm pretty sure my high school teacher isn't checking out my page more than any of my other 200 friends. That would be creepy and awkward. I happened to be online and three guys whose pages I *never* looked at all messaged me to ask why I was on their top 5 stalker list. It's got to be a random thing.

Scarllet says:

Firstly its not stalking so please quit the "stalking" "creeper" stuff! Secondly if you dont like people seeing your profile then gtfo of facebook. Thirdly there will never be a valid way to see this information nor is it anyones buisness whos been where and remember this also applies to you [no one way tracking] and i dont think you would like people knowing where youve been and if by some chance it ever does happen alot of people including myself will be leaving.

QUOTE:"how about if you save someone’s picture to your harddrive, is there any way they can find out about that?"

that is the funniest comment ever! and NOOOO it can't tell that. These apps are not very reliable a friend of mine was on someones stalker list at number one and I know for a fact that he hardly ever goes online and he has been on vacation for the last month with no internet.

Also you should remember that these apps only work if you Add Them so when you get a notification that Sally has 'Just found out who has been viewing her profile" before you go ahead and "Click here, to see who has been viewing yours" don't do it, coz then you will have to add the application and its free to spread your name around the internet.

A good friend of mine has just done it and I haven't come in the top ten list… and I comment and look at photos and tag her photos and 'like' most of her stuff…. yet I'm not on her list…. WHY???? because I never was curious enough to add the application in the first place!

Tash Love says:
Mon, 18th Jan 20104:04 pm 

Don't add the application in the first place and you won't have any worries!

And anyone who has already added the application may appear on peoples list but it will be random and you will probably be on a list of someone that you never even look at their facebook profile… its all rubbish.

"Ugh, my ex-bf was such a JERK but actually I really think he wasn't that bad so I'll Face-stalk him and speak shit about the girls he talks to IN AN ONLINE ARTICLE AVAILABLE TO THE WORLD even though it's none of my business but secretly I still kinda like him."

"I'll talk cute about it and make light of my situation by pretending to not be a stalker, even though the truth is my life is superficial and empty and I have to resort to clogging Google search with my shitty life to feel better about myself."

I dont think viewing your friends profile considered as stalking, unless you added someone you dont know and keep viewing to get to know everything about the person for personal intention.

NTStalker says:
Sat, 30th Jan 20108:52 pm 

The application no longer works so there really isn't any point discussing about it, but whoever thought it did not work..hah I have a bad news, it did. The application did say that it protected the creepy kind of stalkers who never interact with you but that's just it… it did not count your views if and only if you never ever interacted with the person you're stalking. I had written on my crushes wall once or twice..like literally, but i used to stalk him daily… and you know what I was number 1 in his stalkers list. it was the most embarrassing thing ever.

Mew says:

I wish it did show people who only view one's profile, and I wish Facebook would allow such a thing on their site. Recently a crazy woman who I got banned from MySpace for harassment has joined Facebook, and I'd love to know if she's stalking my profile.

FB stalking is wonderful. I can sit on my couch and stalk. No dressing in dark clothing and trekking through the darkness. I can stalk while having a nice glass of Melbac and some cheese & crackers. I stalk in my p.j.s, jeans, skorts or…dare I say…naked. If you have joined Facebook, you put it out there for people to see. Lock it and only your "friends" can see it. Who cares anyway? Be honored that people are interested (or bored) enough to look. Worry when no one cares enough to look. Don't do a "reality t.v. show" and then be upset when people watch!

Wed, 14th Apr 20103:55 pm 

This is pure BS! FB has made it virtually impossible for this to work. PERIOD! It is NOT even a real app. Now, there could be a form of this as an app by a third party, but FB does not allow it. Besides, for it to even work, onw would also need to download and allow the app for it to collect data from you. Bottom, it is a hoax. All the fake app does is randomly collect a group of your FB friend names and compile them on a list saying they stalk you. It sends it out too. You can untag yourself from the photo but you will remain on your friend's STUPID list. Now I ask anyone why in the hell they would post their profile and allow ffriends to view this information, then turn around and claim anyone is "stalking" them. What a strong word to use in this instance. Get a clue and stop this senssationalism. FB isn't that great anyway. Wow, you claim any and everyone you ever met in your life as your friend and one can have an astounding number of "friends" (as if you were building the numbers) and be lucky if you even really know 5 of them! Then you go on there and post idiotic things, like "I made yummy muffins for breakfast" and who the hell actually gives a damn? STUPID! You have your sister, your cousin, your parents, etc., all as your friends and then you engage in 'public' conversations with them and take offense if anyone else sees this? Guess what? Your stuff smells as much as the next person's and YOU are no more special than the next person, either! And this goes for celebs too. Who the crap cares if so-and-so is doing such-such-such? It's getting ridiculous.

who cares if someone looks at your profile anyway. thats what its there for. if you don't want a certain person to see it, all you have to do is block them. you can even control what people can and can't see on your privacy settings, so i don't see what the big deal is.

SO, explain THAT to me. we are 'friends' on facebook, but i dont talk to him and havent seen him in years. it seems a little coincidental that he JUST HAPPENED to leave me a message (something he hasnt done, ever) the day after i visited his profile (something i never do).

the same thing happened to me. I was cheecking this girls facebook page, and when I did it a third time, her pics were blocked or "removed". another person's profile i was looking at whole account was blocked where I couldn't even search her or look up her name. I don't know if facebook is doing this to decrease instances of stalking or if there is some sort of application online that makes this possible.

Get the stick out of your ass.

Are you a mormon for reals? You sound like one, I know a lot of them, they're all just as goody-two-shoes-hate-the-rest-of-the-world-cuz-they're-evil-and-wicked…….

Piss off. The world has no need for people like you. And by the way, you're far from perfect.

Yeah, so the article could have been researched. So, yadda yadda yadda there could be free money and jobs and food falling from the sky too. People could not use sarcastic humor in articles calling girlfriends of their ex boyfriends sluts too.

the obvious answer is that we're at the end of the world, and jesus is bout to come back and burn the hell out of everyone, and save a couple of the best I suppose – the few who don't use sarcasm in articles, and probably those who do tons of fucking research before they pound out another article online.

love,

Jesus F'ing Christ

Wow! I won't lie, there's a girl that left a flirty post on my boyfriends wall and I've been on her like stink on shit. I check her wall to see if he responds for the past couple of days and all of a sudden all the info is gone! Pics, everything except her boring ass interests. It's really creeping me out that they're tracking the trackers! Doubt the author's site is cause for concern, but I wonder about the others… :: strokes imaginary beard::

here lies complete disinformation. the author of this fictional article is a GENIUS! this article likely exists simply to draw attention to itself. this makes the owner of this site a lot of money in ad revenue. each time this page is loaded, the advertisement banners also load. the owner cashes in on this crap and will never take it down. if a retraction was written, it would cease to be a spectacle. you are a bunch of fucking sheep. there is no need to think when you can just stay with the flock. baaaaah! thephoneyshow.com

It seems like you can't do anything online anymore and remain private. Anonymity is a thing of the past. Facebook and Twitter do get more traffic daily than Google, so I guess it is in their best interest to attempt to give their users a little more control over their personal profiles.

1st. why would you care who is looking at your profile? You control who you are friends with and FB has the ability to provide limited profiles for individual friends. So why would you be friends with someone you thought was creepy in the first place. I think all those "see who's viewing my profile" fake apps are a load bunk and scam people who desire ego boosts.

2nd. Facebook doesn't allow it. So relax, that is the whole point of a SOCIAL NETWORK. you and THE PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE i.e. your friends AGREE to SHARE information with each other.

Below, the following Q&A is taken directly from the FB help page.

Can I know who’s viewing my profile or how often it’s being viewed?

No, Facebook does not provide a functionality that enables you to track who is viewing your profile, or parts of your profile, such as your photos. Third party applications also cannot provide this functionality. Applications that claim to give you this ability will be removed from Facebook for violating policy. You can report applications that provide untrustworthy experiences by clicking the "Report Application" at the bottom of the application’s About page, or by clicking "Report" at the bottom of any canvas page within the application.

Can others know when I view their profiles?

Facebook currently does not provide an application that allows users to track profile views or statistics on the views of any specific user content. Third party developers, however, may offer applications that provide some of this functionality. Please keep a few things in mind for these applications:

Applications CANNOT track profile visits for users who simply go to another person's profile; Facebook has made this technically impossible.

In order to be tracked by an application, you will need to specifically agree to allow the application to track your actions.

Adding an application that provides this functionality is purely optional. If you do not want to participate, please do not add the application to your account.

There has to be something. I looked up a contractor I was having problems with. The next day he was a "friend suggestion". Yesterday I was looking at an childhood frenemy's photos – today I'm blocked (could be coincidence).

Wow this is beyond stupid. They messed with the whole point of facebook…which is to creep on other peoples business! People want you to look at their profiles thats why people have Facebook in the first place! Now people know whos looking and what not…this ruins the concept of facebook. Jeez.

I think this is stupid. who cares who viewing whos profile. if they aint bothering u, then whats the f****n deal. abviously if your so concerned about whos looking at ur profile, u must have some kinda issues of ur own. this is stupid and pointless and it shouldnt even be talked about.if your being harassed then yall can say something like drake said. stop being so jugdemental about people who looks at somebody's profile cuz it aint right. if u feel like looking at your ex's profile then do it cuz obviously u love them and u just checkin up on them. now if they block you just for checkin up on them every now and then, they the ones with the problem and they need to just go ahead and delete their account. wit they bitch asses!

s**t like this jus pisses me off im sorry.cuz i feel like im being treated like a stalker everytime i go and look at somebody's profile. even if its just one time. nobody deserves to be treated like that and im pretty sure everyone will agree with that cuz i look profiles of people that i care abut every now and then but they wanna be assholes about it so….thats all i got to say bout that.da s**t is a hacker anyway!

A facebook stalker (noun) – An individual who secretly looks up people on facebook, going through albums, comments and personal information to piece together a picture of this person.Report it to Facebook. MySpace has an option to report fake profiles and I'm sure Facebook must have one also.

My heart is beating pretty fast and I'm starting to get short of breath. I'm so confused right now am I safe or what? What I heard was there is a good chance that these people i've been stalking on facebook regularly may know about it!?!?!?! Someone said this article is wrong another person is saying that's only if you click on something. I'm on their profile looking at their pictures and everything. Someone please tell me this isn't so. This is a life and death situation!! Don't Screw around with me!!

People, let's just clear this up right now.

If you would just read the Facebook's Help section, you'd find out quite easily that it is TECHNICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to track profile clicks, visits, whatever you like to call it.

For the lazy, here's a link:
http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=840#!/help/?fa…

In simple words, Facebook has coded the site in such a way that tracking is not even possible. The only people that can see user statistics or anything remotely similar is the people that work for Facebook. THAT'S IT. You will NEVER see an app or service that is designed to show users statistics like these. Quite frankly, this Stalker Checker or whatever is a load of crap.

I am a bit worried. There are a few people I have deleted off of my facebook friends list, but their profiles werent set to private. I have been looking at them and slowly, one by one, they are becoming private. It's like they can tell I am looking.

And everytime I find someone new to 'stalk' in a few days they have changed their profile to private too. I swear they can tell somehow… How does this keep happening?

Siah says:
Sat, 29th Jan 20111:57 pm 

Julie, No it doesn't classify you as a Stalker. People post these things on Facebook FOR you to look. But at the same time, I don't even believe these apps are legit nor will they ever be. Who really wants to be a Facebook Member, if every single move you make and thing you do is noted and notified?!!

@amclellan says:
Sun, 27th Feb 20118:12 pm 

Don't post bullshit things like this until you know what you're talking about. Facebook would lose half its users if people could see who's looking at them. It will NEVER happen. Ever.

Seems to me that facebook IS all about voyeurism ,
read this from wikiwotsit
In clinical psychology, voyeurism is the sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors, such as undressing, sexual activity, or other activity usually considered to be of a private nature.[1][2] In popular imagination the term is used in a more general sense to refer to someone who habitually observes others without their knowledge, with no necessary implication of sexual interest.
Voyeurism (from the French voyeur, “one who looks”) can take several forms, but its principal characteristic is that the voyeur does not normally relate directly with the subject of their interest, who is often unaware of being observed.
Now I’m going to look up a good term for people who obsessively post on sites like this! The most important thing about all this is people(us) are losing the humaness of interaction and sitting isolated on our laptops,blackberries,iPhones blah blah blah and ignoring the real world! So I’m going to put down my iPhone and go and have breakfast and maybe have a converstion,remember that quaint old practice

There HAS to be a way because I was viewing this guys Public profile for about a month. Never typed one word just looked at his cute picture. He didnt know me. No one knew I was checking him out but the man upstairs! got scared about this tracking stuff. Made a fake account up. Never Looked At any OTHEr profile or typed a word off that. all of a sudden my fake account got pulled immediately from facebook with no warning. He had blocked BOTH of my accounts. No this cause I could get him off my bros. waiting to go to jail! I know he knows. He has to!
