How often do you e-stalk people? Intentional or not.

Because you know one quick look at a picture on Facebook leads to the next 15 minutes of looking at pictures that you really have no business seeing.

Right now I'm stalking Rantzien! :hello::hello::hello::hello:

I don't usually e-stalk people. Sometimes if someone pisses me off I'll be inspired to find out about their life. Then I get bored. BECAUSE THEIR LIVES ARE BORING.

I have a few awesomely good childhood friends who live far away, and when I miss them I'll look through their pics.

[Shorty]

Is it stalking if you're friends with them?

I think when I e-stalk, I do it on accident - aka, without thinking. Like you said, one picture turns into fifteen minutes spent ogling the rest of their albums.

edit: I'm gonna be the first to admit to (briefly) e-stalking boyfriends' exes.

[Jessweeee♪]

Sometimes if I stumble upon an old classmate from elementary school I'll be like "huh I wonder how s/he turned out" and stalk for a bit.

Nothing beats having a dossier on anyone you encounter; consider it a real-live bestiary.

BoB had a fun game on Aiyon relating to this, short-lived as it was.

I stalk EVERYONE

[Rantz]

:O!

I stalk both intentionally and un-ditto. I'm pretty creepy about it! I go to their Facebook wall and check out ALL their activity. For example, I now know that Yar's experience of a Japanese class is highly dependent on the presence of Mike Gillum in the class

[Bastian]

All. The. Time.

But mainly only if I have or have had a crush on said individual.

Be afraid, Yar. Be very afraid.

[Chris]

I've stopped stalking people.

Now, I just contact them directly if I'm interested in them, that way, things get done much faster.

[Rye]

I e-stalk people who I find interesting!

[escobert]

Yeah if I see a picture that looks interesting on FB I may look at it and in turn look at a bunch of pictures from that person.

[Loony BoB]

I am known to do this from time to time. Sometimes because I'm interested in them in one way or another, and other times because I don't know who they are and they've tried to contact me. Sometimes it's for EoFF staff reasons, like when we try to figure out a possible second account. Finally, there are the few and far between occasions where I try to trace down someone I used to know.

I do this all the time. I don't consider it major stalking. Just play-stalking.

Ahahaha, I think pretty much every ex I have has talked to at least half of the rest of my ex's at some point.

If I was to e-stalk someone it would be troublesome to have them know that I am. So I will say no to the topic, but keep in mind that it can be taken as the truth or a lie.

E-stalking also has the advantage of a lack of rustling bushes.

[Alive-Cat]

E-stalking has NOTHING on real stalking. It has not the adrenaline nor the anxiety.
E-stalking whilst suspended 30 foot over a busy road, however! That makes the cut.
