Online stalking that much easier

First there was the Facebook status update now with the help of the internet and phones twitter is making letting the world know what you are up to, thinking, feeling, or planning.

Now I will admit that when I am bored at work (which is all the time) Facebook really helps kill some time. From checking status updates, profile updates, and playing some of the games they have on there. The addition of the status update on Facebook was pretty neat. One could let all their friends know what they were doing, feeling, or planning so people could join, ask, and whatever else they wanted.

However it seems like the Facebook status update has become a means of communication for people and with the help of the Facebook app for iPhones and Blackberry's one can keep the world updated of what they are up to 24/7.

Now there is a site and app that get's rid of all the other Facebook crap and is just a status updater. Twitter is slowly taking over people's most visited web sites and checked/clicked on app on their phone. Of course in this ever changing world one could witness something and right away let their friends know about it.

These ideas are a great way of spreading information, but they can make online stalking that much easier. Also they allow for some pretty boring updates like Hey I'm eating tacos tonight! Come one at least make it exciting like Dumpster diving at Taco Bell for dinner!

O and I totally forgot about Missed Connections on Craigslist.
