Do you ever get the feeling you are being stalked, electronically speaking?

Sometimes do you wish other social media sites had a way of telling you when someone views your posts or profile? I am by no means paranoid, but just wondering how others felt about people you don't know, or don't know very well, constantly looking at your status and posts.

I use my phone app a lot for RP. When trying to tap on a posted thread or response, it takes me to the profile. Sometimes I do it three times in a row. Fat fingers, I guess. Then I wonder what they think?! I'm not a cyber stalker. Really, I'm not. :)

Done that myself. This forum is better than some. Had one where it was almost impossible not to go to the poster's profile page.

SFC Vernon McNabb. Yes . . . not just by individuals . . . there are dozens of tracking companies that appear to be stealthily attached to nearly every website accessed . . . beyond the obvious tracking cookies . . . and direct following by more routinely obvious individual users . . . all seem to be gathering, correlating, and analyzing personally identifiable data. I wish there was an easier way to anonymize web access. Warmest Regards, Sandy

Facebook and Google know so much about us, they have accurate algorithms that can determine some decisions we will make. One friend told me they will even know when you will break up with someone based on chats, posts, pictures you take etc.
I don't think stalking is the right word. It is probably monitored!

The thing is, that (in my assessment) Facebook and Google could care less when you're going to break up or that your dog died and your kid needs braces. They are monitoring you for one reason - Targeted advertising. Ever notice how when you're looking for or researching a particular item, you suddenly start seeing sidebar ads that fit with all those search terms?

SGT Richard H. - They don't care about any of that other stuff because the companies they sell your info to do all the work to figure that stuff out.
