Response to Cassie's Facebook Stalking Blog

It's an interesting issue - people upload personal info and pics etc with the intent for them to be seen by others, but for some it can be a source of obsession. If I used sites like facebook I'd definitely set my profile to private, but I think maybe people don't always do this because they don't feel the need to prepare for people becoming obsessed over them. Stalking has always been around, but with the invention of social networking it has made stalkers' jobs a lot easier as you have pointed out that they can now find out all kinds of information about someone online - from their name, age and where they live to getting some idea of what their personality is like.
