Facebook stalker catcher - does it work?

mandysmithers

Does anyone here use facebook stalker catcher? Does it work?

Jesus Wept

I doubt it.

moretothegirl

i was wondering the same actually.... iv googled similar before and the answer seems to be that they cant access page views... there seems to be a lot available lately though so maybe thats changed?

The Master

No ,

But fair play to everyone who signed up to it with their email address and password

Let me know how that works out for you

brummytom

Doesn't everyone use facebook for stalking though?

mardybumbum

Yes.
My number 1 stalker was God, followed closely by Santa.

minidazzler

You need Chris Hansen, he can find anyone!!

Cool Running

I sure hope not

Pushtrak

Hadn't heard of it. But, if being wary of being stalked was an issue for someone, why even have a facebook/whatever account? Hell, why even leave their house/apartment in their lives?

sssssssssssh!!!

hopefully it doesnt work

dsmythy

If it did, I'd say Facebook would shut it down.

I presume it tells you whoever has been posting most on your page and then tries to convince you that these are the people 'stalking/viewing' you. Also probably throws a few random names off your friends list into the mix
to confuse.
Utter nonsense.

Yet 500k+ people have signed up, the same type of people that still forward messages about msn/aol/yahoo/facebook shutting down/planning to charge for the site. The same people that forward emails proclaiming that if you forward the email to enough people, Bill Gates will come around and give you oral.

Idiots essentially.

Any time i clicked on the link it came up 'page not found'.

If you don't want to be stalked, set it to private.

MickTipp

Isn't that what it was invented for ?

Quickly followed by locking up your doors and windows.

So you're telling me the candlelit bedroom I've prepared is all for nothing? :eek:

Well, the privacy settings have changed now, and the default is that even people who aren't your friends can view your page, until you change the settings yourself. So would you be able to use facebook stalker to see who's viewing your page that way - like, someone who isn't in your friends list?

Latchy

Setting it on private is a good idea

Pushtrak

I haven't encountered a way to see who has been viewing your profile - a feature that bebo actually has. But, in most respects, facebook is better than bebo.

I've no idea. I'm presuming not though but that it will claim that's what it is doing.

I'm pretty sure they Facebook can't reveal or allow third party applications to reveal viewing information on account of their privacy agreement.

ya, but hardly anyone on bebo could view who is seeing there profile as hardly anyone would hav that yoke on for seeing who is viewing ur page

This stalker add-on could lead to lawsuits!....if you are wrongly labeled a "stalker" by the software....can o' worms!

.... Why?!

Maybe someone went onto your page because they thought they knew you and wanted to check before they added you. What difference does it make? If they don't talk to you, they aren't affecting you. If the not knowing bothers you, set your page to private!

Finally, no, it will not work!

Jay P

Eh......


Who cares?

Why do you want to know? The people visiting are going to be your "friends" anyway. Unless you have the privacy settings in such a way that you let random people see your page, in which case why do you want to see who exactly is visiting your page?

Man, Facebook bugs the crap out of me sometimes.

Fajitas!

Just put everything on to private.

Add people you know, ie; friends.

No more stalkers.

Chinafoot

Default privacy settings can be changed quite easily.

I will never understand people who sign up for these "stalker" applications when they have their profile set to private. So you basically want to see who out of those you willfully added as a friend has been looking at your profile?? Sad.

Fajitas!

Plus, giving some third party app access to my profile? Eh... No. Facebook's bad enough as it is.

I've no idea what this stalker catcher thing is, but... password? Fook.

Sounds like a honeytrap for this fellow:

I dont sign up to any of those applications.

I dont care who looks at my profile+pics. I have allmy pics set to Friends only so I really dont care if one of my friends wants to view them 20 times a day

Columbia

Hope it doesn't work, my girlfriend has a couple of very attractive friends :P

delricyo

And also ...

"Step 1 - Join the group
Step 2 - Invite atleast 30 friends to join the group"

If it works,why do they need you to invite 30 friends ?

I smell .... a pyramid scheme or something of the sort

What? You didn't know bebo had the whos been visiting my profile feature? If you have a bebo account, go to the home section, and click the page view number.

It'll show you who has been on your page recently. Note the recently part. Also, note that people can go on your profile as private, and you'll have no idea who they are. So, yeah, for stalker paranoiacs its not an ultimate solution.

But, then, just setting your profile to private is.

My profile is private on bebo(I know it's crap and am going to delete it) but I think it still shows the person who was on your page.

Like if I go on someones page that isn't my friend I think it still shows up to tell them I'd been there!!

As for Facebook. I've set mine to private and also disabled the search for me so that even mates find it really difficult to find me. Ha.

Exactly. Obviously most guys are worried that hot girls who they are friends with on facebook will be able to see how many times they have viewed their profile recently, not if some randomer has "stalked" their page!

Why are you some really important/hot person everyone that you think someone would want to stalk you? Unless you want to see if any hot "guys/girls" have been checking you out.

Seriously, just change the default settings - much easier.

Agreed. Although you forgot Facebook users, as well.

Haha, lots of people on here seem to think I'm afraid of being 'stalked' on facebook! I'm not, I was just curious if the app works, that's all.
