Stalking. In this day and age, we all do that. Yes. We. Including me. LOL
Since the dawn of the internet age, everything is just a button away. And when I say everything, it includes everyone. Whether you only have a nick name and a location, you can easily google that person and find his Facebook page. When you only have a picture to begin with, but you know that that person is a friend of a friend, just look at Facebook and search your friend’s friends. See if any of those faces in his or her long list of friends matches the picture you have at hand or at memory.
So why am I talking about this? Interestingly enough, one of the reasons why I joined, or rather transferred to wordpress from blogger paid off (or in some weird way). My old blog, which if I remember correctly is http://asthestorygoes-xp.blogspot.com, was one hosted by blogger. But I transferred to wordpress a couple of years ago because it had much more statistical details and it was just more classy – plus I wanted a change of environment so I made the shift, even though it was just on the internet. So this morning I opened my laptop like any usual day, logged in on Facebook and checked my email. When I went to my dashboard page, this picture showed up
It was… interesting. I didn’t even consider myself search-worthy really. I’m a considerably open guy, and let’s face it, people would rather search other people on Facebook, not on google or other search engines right?
Anyways, there’s no new “add friend” requests on Facebook so I suppose I won’t know who that person is. It’s flattering that someone would actually look for you in this bizarre world to the point of hunting you down on cyberspace. But kinda creepy as well. Haha. Maybe I should go on by an alias now? Hmmmm…
Internet. Facebook. Google. Oh how have you changed the art of stalking. I wonder how people used to stalk others before internet? Then again, I think I already know the answer to that. =P
