Wow...! What news I get to share today!
As many of you may know, smart phones can be used to stalk people. Either in a good way or bad. I'm not advocating the idea, but it's a fact.
Well, there is an app for the iPhone that was released today that allows you to "stalk" your facebook friends by alerting you when they come online. Called "Friend Alert", it basically gives you the ability to track the person's online activity by notifications.
It's an interesting concept/idea. And it really doesn't invade anyone's privacy. If you don't want to be tracked by this application, just make sure you're invisible (under settings) when you go online! But remember, that means friends can't see that you're online to chat...
Thanks to my iPhone, and the chat client Meebo, I'm always on facebook chat. So if someone wants to use this application to "stalk" my online facebook activity.... good luck!
