Comments on: Facebook pulls 'stalker list' tool after Gawker exposes it

Some users of the popular social-networking site panicked when the media gossip blog claimed it would show a list of the five people who visited a given member's profile most frequently.

well maybe WEBLINS will offer a consulting fee after making the same comment about a "interface" feature they have that shows all avatars that visit it seems a profile page. and then links to that user on any page directly back to that the other in a click..

many of these "college" science experiments that are released globally into the the thrilled tech press blog machine are as well thought out as PETS.com but a thousand times more damaging.

web3.0? will we even make it there..;)

for reference.... story about a global avatar app....... try it.. then lets chat about cyberstalking and privacy on the web we knew.;)

the Russian social net site odnoklassniki.ru does this by default .....

well, it didn't make sense for me at all. the fourth and fifth people are profiles, that i rarely, if ever look at....i can easily think of at least 10 other profiles i look at more often. and if it wasn't a stalker list....then why did facebook pull it? Question of the week.

I relate this glitch to the early version of the little mermaid where you can clearly see the priest's erection. some facebook employee's little joke got exposed.

Too bad the global "avatar" is EXE based. No Mac version, sorry it s 2.0 /3.0 world where platform should not matter. Companies that don't offer that will wither away. Too bad for them too.. Mac people make the best stalkers...amongst other things.
