    Admit it.

    I'm sure anyone with a facebook account must have at least done this once!

    You know, when you met someone you thought was cute and didn't ask for their e-mail to add them on fb but you try your best to search their name just to see their photos/profile/connections. Or maybe you heard a rumour that so-and-so hooked up or broke up with so-and-so and couldn't believe your ears so you decide to see it for yourself by searching their profile and checking if their photos or status etc. Or maybe you were trying to find an old friend and had to stalk everyone in your friends list and their own list just to see if that person has a fb account!

    I confess that I have "fb stalked" people and I'm gonna brag a bit here: I think I'm a pretty ok "fb stalker". XD

    I managed to find out the name and birthday and other juicy info about this guy I thought was cute in college and I was freaking proud about my accomplishment! Bear in mind, I never knew his name and the only time I could see him in person was when we walked past each other in the corridor, coincidentally and on my part sometimes, purposely. It took me a while to actually find out his name and how we might be connected and one day, tada! I found him on fb! Then it eventually lead me to his personal info, his blog and even pictures of him and.... his girlfriend.

    =(

    Haha! But hey! Don't get me wrong here! I'm not those creepy stalkers who's so obsessed that you'll probably need to get a court order to keep me away from you! XP I think "fb stalking" can be quite fun and exciting, provided you have a positive attitude and good intentions in the first place.

    So people, do tell any experiences you had or maybe heard of about facebook stalking. Or maybe share your thoughts about it! Is it a good thing? Or a bad thing?

    I don't actually stalk people in RL first then on FB. I do the opposite. I see pretty pictures on their FB account. I add them. I get their msn. I ask for their number. Ask if they are still single or not. If not, just forget them. If still single, I keep them as friends. =)
    I do that regularly. Even now.

    I don't use Facebook, but I used to do that on Friendster. And I do a bit of both: I did Andrew's meet online thing for certain girls, and I certainly did the stalk people online thing that Cassie's described. But I try to limit myself from the former. I tend to get very insecure/jealous very fast, because I prefer sitting at home and programming and all these people captured in photos are young and bright and having loads of fun.

    My sister and her stalking. *i got your msg this morning about the guy in the tram btw*

    Stalking on FB is fun. But i HATE the fact that random ppl just add you and then post stupid things on your wall. It isnt too bad if that person is your aquintance, but if that person is from overseas or something, that's just stupid.

    I confess. I stalk on FB too. . . haha! that's when i wanna find out more info la. But i only have stalked one person. and that person stalks me back~! i even hacked into the person's account WITH this knowledge.

    Try hacking into your fren's account. it IS fun, sometimes. I remember when i was on Cass account. She thought someone hacked into it and changed her password and stuff. Her reaction was VERYVERY funny~! yea. i'm talking about you dear sister. :)

    I'm an awesome stalker.
    And I say that not out of arrogance, but out of familiarity with looking for people I barely know and finding them.
    Eg. The son of my homestay parents =D

    Shh. Don't tell anybody I said that.

    For all you know Sam, he might have already found your fb profile and maybe even your post in this topic!

    You know, I kinda have mixed feelings about what Andrew said he does. Sometimes I think that it's a bit annoying that strangers would add you in hopes of becoming your new friend, but then again sometimes I think it's a little bit admirable as you're sorta making the first move. From what I have observed and heard, guys nowadays are such wussies and are so afraid of getting hurt that they don't actually take the initiative to make the first move and approach the opposite sex. =S

    Locked. And hopefully not!
    I never approve requests from ppl I dunno. I normally send them a message first, or if their friends lists consists of girls and no one but girls, then reject straight away.
    Am I alone when I wish people who dunno you but add you would just send a bloody message if they really want to be "friends"?
    Then again, it's been a long time since I've made an actual friend online =\

    O HAI! I IS CAN FREN YOU?

    /clears throat

    On a serious note: Cassie, isn't getting to know someone online a form of making the first move? I know it's warped and all, in our culture, but it's probably the virtual equivalent of what our parents knew as 'making the first move'. And besides, what's the harm? He has a long way to go before he meets you in person - he'll have to move to MSN, and then SMS, and then to Skype, and then (maybe) to face-to-face meetups. Long, long way from popping the question. =)

    I do, but it's only for Facebook app development. I'm going to delete it after I'm done doing this Facebook module.
