Facebook Stalkers Exposed!

Finally, something worthy to write about Facebook.

Apparently if you go to the search engine and press the down arrow, you will get a list. That list is either the five people that search for your profile the most OR the five people you stalk all night.

Facebook promptly cleaned up the trick but you can still do it by typing in a "." or any letter to narrow your "search."

According to a statement released by Facebook:
"Facebook tries to surface the people we think are most important to users to make it easier and faster for them to navigate the site and find what they are looking for."

Most important to the user? Isn't that just a list of people you stalk/stalks you all the time?

What do you angry gorillas think? Reverse stalking? A combination of factors? Who's on your list?

I did it and got completely random people. I think there's no rhyme or reason to it. Now it's been cleaned up, but I think some people still have access to the feature. Posted 05/13/2008 7:28 PMReply
