Have you ever stalked someone? Ex boyfriend/girlfriend/crush/etc?

^ same here. i "e-stalk" a lot of folks.

Only reason I don't bother googling people is because a lot of people have the same username. For example one my friends uses the username of "Tamacracker" but so do I. Except he uses that username on other things, like the bodybuilding forumboard.


So you might think one of your friends are homosexual when in fact they're not, it's just someone else has that same unique "username" or "online name"


Anyways, pretty scary people actually take the time to look other people up. I'll make sure not to put up my personal life online, I don't need someone askin me about personal things I had no idea they could have found out about ;x

that's a pretty rare case. i don't know that many people who share the same user ID purposely. and even if it's not intentional, i think one would be able to deduce that there's more than one person with that name.

there are a lot of other stuff besides usernames you could use to find people online. and i don't actually go looking for people, it just happens naturally, especially when folks link all their sites together. it's pretty easy to track down anyone, unless they're not internet savvy. and even then, people could still find you, if they really want to.

anyway, i don't think finding people on the internet actually count as "stalking", as long as the person is not being harassed.

I try to make it hard for people to find info on me, I have like 16 different user names for online things... like e-bills, forumboards, emails, other accounts and such. Only reason is so that people don't try to find too much info on me lol... But then again I guess all you really need is just a first and last name and maybe even their city?

I'm glad this thread is up, I never thought it was common for people to actually look other people up, whether it be for contact or to actually find personal information... that's creepy lol
