facebook stalkers

[sniper7]

my wife opened mine, at first it was interesting to see and hear from some old friends or keep in touch with ones I don't call on a regular basis, but then it got weird with ex's or people I didn't really want to see always wanting to get together for lunch or hang out. I prefer to hide behind my screen name, and not post every event or every aspect that takes place in my life for all to see.

i found that they go to my profile all the time just to check up on what im doin .

Go to the top right and click "account" then "privacy settings". once on this page click "Customize settings" from here you can change everything to "friends only" and gives you semi-privacy. But its some what of a delusion as Facebook is still going to sell any info of ours off to corporate interests. Remember to never add your phone number or address.

Also on the privacy page is "Connecting on Facebook" (select view settings). Here you are able to make yourself un-searchable and not allow people to contact you unless you are already friends.

Stalkers are entertaining at first, but it wears off quickly.

How is it that between user forums, email, cell phones, land lines, satellites, gps, twitter, BBS, P2P, smoke signals, pheromones, carrier pigeons, wolf whistles, cat calls, bedroom eyes, sonar, radar, FLIR, NV, illuminated reticles, I pad, kindle, steve jobs, coffee shops, fetish clubs, dive bars, and Al Gore inventing the internet...
...that people HAVE to use FaceBook to stay in touch with their friends and family?

There is NO privacy at Facebook.

Your information is being data mined.

Have fun.

you do realize, of course, that they can only read what you put in there, right?

If you insist on remaining on Facebook, lock it down as tight as you can.

Kill chat ... crank all the privacy settings to maximum and consider running third party apps to keep it in line.

Back before I deleted my FB account (and you have to jump through a lot of hoops to actually delete it instead of just deactivate it) I had several greasemonkey scripts running along with a couple third party plugins for Firefox that made FB look and function better (and block all that obnoxious Farmville/Mafia wars crap).

However they change FB often enough that you really have to keep up on the third party apps so I imagine most of the ones I was using are dead and would need to be replaced with new ones (so that's why no links here).

Well I've had 0 contact with her in several years.. but I was always questioning some of the people on FB who tried to add me.. for good reason too. Well one of them added my current gf, the day after we changed our status to 'married'. The fun began.. it's amazing how easy it is to mess with people when they assume you are stupid.
