Stalkerbook?

I am so sorry to hear about the senseless killing. I have both myspace and facebook. Like everything you have to be aware of what information is available. I do not have my dorm room or cell phone number listed. My profile is also set to private so only people I want seeing my profile will see it. I personally believe a person to be naive if they leave all of their information online for anyone to see.

I think that at this point anyone who uses the internet should be smart enough to know that giving ANY personal identifying or locating information is NOT SMART...htere is no way in hell I'd put up my phone number, address, kids school etc etc on a place like Myspace or Facebook and my kids have strict instructions not to as well...Also places like Facebook have security features that can limit what and who can see your profile etc etc..I suggest that ppl ptu them to good use ya know..thats what they are there for

I don't mind having such information on those sites. IT's good that I can keep in touch with so many people I had or would have lost touch with but it is very sad that such a thing could happen. I am very careful who I give out personal information to. I have noticed though that people but information such as home telephone numbers on an open profile page. My page is private and I know all of the people I am friends with. It was a terrible thing that happened to your friend but people should be more careful about who they give information to and who they accept as friends, etc. There is the choice on Facebook and on other sites as to what information you are willing to share. It's not like they force you to add the information. I don't mean to sound horrible and it is of course too late for your friend but thinking about these things could save another life.

I am really incredibly sad to hear what happened to your friend because of Facebook. This is making me more concerned about having my personal info out there on sites like Facebook and Myspace, because i have accounts on both sites. However, I am not in college and don't have anything like a dorm room number listed because of that. I also do not think that I put my home address anywhere on the internet. That is definitely not a very safe thing to do. You're right that the internet has opened up a lot of new ways of stalking people. We all need to remind ourselves of this fact and make sure that we watch who we let our personal info out to!

This is exactly why I only give the bare minimum of information and nothing more. I don't post my phone number anywhere online and the only time I give that information to anyone is if I really know that person and I know that a threat isn't present. It's just one of those things you don't post online. And you just really need to be careful of everything you put online period because you never know what can happen.

It's horrible that that had to happen to her, but that is a risk you take when you put your personal information out there on the internet. Have you tried to search yourself on a search engine lately? The more you put out on the internet the more people will be able to find out about you. There are options as to whether or not you want your address, phone number, email address put on there and there are options to block certain groups of people or even everyone that you have not added as a friend on there. I definitely consider everything that I do on Facebook stalking, watching what people do and looking at pictures of them is pretty much what I consider stalking and that's what the site is all about. In this day and age people like to be watched, that's why we have MySpace and Facebook, we want to feel like people remember us and want to see what we are up to, we want them to envy us because we are doing better stuff with our lives now than they are, etc.

People should know better than to list all of their personal information on Facebook or a site like that when weirdos can come stalk you. But since it was a person who was considered her friend he might have already known where she lived from hanging out with her, giving her a ride home, going to a party or something like that.

I have a facebook account..but i dont have any of my personal information on there. In order for someone to get access to personal information..it has to be on that persons profile. To keep your life safe..i think it would be best not to post personal info such as your phone number, especially your address.

I don't put detailed info on my facebook page. I don't even post where I live, my phone number, or even where I work. That website is for fun for me, but now I don't know you make be want to close my page down after what happened to your friend. I'm sorry that happened.

Well not to sound like im not sympetheic or anything but the only way people can get all that information from facebook is if you are dumb enough to put it out there...AND If u don't edit your privacy settings

that is really sad about the girl. but facebook is better than myspace because not just anyone can access your profile. it is good because you have to accept people as your friends before they can view your profile. but even though this is the case, people still shouldnt post up personal contact details on their page because unfortunately, there are some nasty people out there.

I'm not on Facebook, so I'm not sure of the extent of the information that you can post there. However, on the other social networking sites that I'm on, I'm always careful not to share too much personal information. On most sites, at least, you can control what information is available about you based on which questions you answer. Hopefully Facebook is that way.

Well, I think that people who put out all of their information like that are just asking to be killed or stalked. There's so many features on Facebook that you can block people from seeing things you wouldn't want them to see or limit the things on your profile to just your friends. Facebook's huge priority is the security of its users, especially since more and more youth are beginning to use it and take advantage of its features.
