Facestalking

I picked up this thing about facestalking. You can view other people’s pictures and see what they are up to. However, it does require the person to be an "added friend". Or does it? It looks like you can view other people’s profiles without friending them. If you go to ‘privacy’ and then ‘poke, message and friend request’, you can see who can see your profile.

I’d be very careful who you befriend as this man found out the hard way.

So much so, it looks some workplaces are barring them.

    Its pretty easy to change your privacy settings. I set mine up so anyone I poke, message etc can only see my profile picture and contact info. And I think I allowed my photos.

    Shame its not set that way by default. Most “average users” are numptys when it comes to security and probably wouldnt think to check

    Also, facestalking is great. I keep freaking people out by knowing what they’ve been up to before they tell me. :)

    These services seem pointless to me… its like a new car, myspace is the fasion.. then facebook etc etc. Can’t be bothered with all the fuss :)
