Facebook Determined to Ruin the Last Fun Thing About Facebook: Stalking
LatestBetter go click through your ex boyfriend’s kind of weird-looking new girlfriend’s tagged photos now, while you still can. Facebook announced today that they’re going to start letting people know who has viewed certain items on the social network — technology that, for now, only impacts a limited area of the site, but could, in the future, make the beloved shametivity of Facebook stalking a thing of the past.
Starting yesterday, when you visit group pages on Facebook, you can see which group members have viewed each post. That means if you’re curious about what stupid jerks your ex best friend invited to his lame-o birthday gathering and you just happen to meander over to a group page organized around the fart party moron collective he’s assembled to celebrate his terrible birth, and you click on the dumb overly friendly notes that his horrible new friends who say YOLO left, if he invited you to his party, people will know you’ve been there. You Only Die of Embarrassment Once. YODEO.
