Stalking. Hey, its OK now!

In the past if you wanted to find ANYTHING about anyone, you probably felt a little weird about it. You don't want to seem too interested or ask too many questions because then everyone would think you're weird. Except now that practically everyone has a Facebook page, a Twitter page, a blog, or a YouTube video it is super easy to find at least something about everyone. And the funny thing about that, is that it's becoming more and more acceptable!
The website that is making more and more advances in stalking is Facebook. You may have thought it was Google since you can Google anything and everything these days (and trust me...I do), but nope its handy dandy Facebook. Sure you can manage your privacy settings and make it so that specific people can't see your pictures or wall posts (phew!) but now Facebook has come up with a, somewhat genius, new feature to help stalk the ones you love. Or want to love.
It's called the Breakup Notifier. If you have a crush and they happen to be involved with someone (for now) you can sign up with the Breakup Notifier and if/when they breakup with their old lover, they will notify you of the change giving you the opportunity to be their new lover! To get started on your quest for some stalktastic lovin' you go to the website, found conveniently at breakupnotifier.com, and you can begin your Stalking for Love journey a few easy steps: Login with your Facebook login, pick the person (or people; who says you can only love one person?) whom you want to be notified about and you're done! If the people you chose change their relationship status, you will be the first to find out.
I'd like to say that this new feature will help curb everyones stalking tendencies but lets be honest. You're totally checking their profile right now? Aren't you? AREN'T YOU?!
It's ok. I forgive you :)
