Is your ex checking you out on Myspace?
It's true.
Your ex could have viewed your myspace profile 44 times last week.
Your manager could be viewing your profile on a daily basis.
You could have some crazy cyberstalker that you don't know about.
Unfortunately you may never know, because Myspace doesn't allow you to see who viewed your page. That was until a little site popped up a while ago by the name of Profilesnoop.com.
Profilesnoop.com's motto is "Snoop on them while they snoop on you". How many of us haven't secretly viewed the pages of our exes, enemies, old high school crushes, co-workers, etc.? We all do it.
Profilesnoop.com provided you with a code to input into your myspace profile. This code would track all visitors that viewed your site, literally snapping a photo of them When you signed on your profilesnoop.com account, it had all that information neatly summarized and ready for you to view.
I was on the of the lucky ones who actually got to use it before it was shut down by Myspace. For about a week, I had this wonderful little tool on my profile. It was just a bit of code, entered in the "Who I'd like to meet" section, not visible to anyone but myself.
It captured photos of anyone who viewed my profile, along with the date, time and IP address. I would automatically be re-directed to a person's mypsace profile by clicking on their photo. Some were my own friends, others were a huge surprise. I found out that I was getting regular views from the last guy I dated and his on-again/off-again girlfriend. Who knew? We're not even friends!
Of course, it was too good to last. Only five days after I registered with the site, the forums were buzzing with talk about the code being stripped from their profiles, along with all the text and photos in their "Who I'd like to meet" section. Apparently, the code is in violation of myspace's privacy policy. Click here to read more about that.
By the next day, it was gone from my profile as well. I was sad to see it go.
Is it right for Myspace to block me from being able to know who visits my profile? Maybe. Maybe not.
I'm sure it won't be long before profilesnoop.com manages to find a way to get back up and running or all the other copy-cat sites start popping up. And when they do, I'll be there... ready to sign up.
So my question is this: Given the choice... would you want to know who's viewing your myspace profile? Or would you rather keep it the way it is now?
Do you really want to know?

I would want to know!
I defintiely would want to know......I always wonder who the thousands of people are that supposedly have "viewed my profile" or if it is jsut a few psychotic poeple who keep clicking on me over and over again. I tell you what, I wish I could get as many clicks on my blog ads as I do on MySpace! LOL! But I have a very small friends list on there....only people I actually know....so yeah, it would be interesting to see who is checking my stuff out. If you find another profile snoop type thing....let us know!
Thanks!
There actually is something similar to it already. Doesn't have all the feautures, but it's still fun to see. I'll be writing more about that in tomorrows post.

Definately
I completely, I too would want to know. I also posted two articles on My Space and some other crazy things that people are using it for. It's shocking!
I agree...
MySpace can get crazy... still it's hard to stop once you're hooked
Thanks for your comment!

I would want to know but would I want other people to know when I view their profile? No!
Haha

who is lookin'
If you post a public profile you leave yourself open for public viewing. Tracking users to your myspace site takes the fun out of it. If you want to know if your ex is viewing your site or whatever ,what good would that do? Chances are you've peeped their site out if you're that curious. The more users join Myspace the more it is becoming a microscosm of society. All the trash that comes with the internet are becoming part of it. Stalking, sexual deviants, webcams, spam, site-hacking, etc... Let's keep if fun peeps.

Always add links!
It is a great hing to add links. I have done this several times with blogs I have found that were similar to mine. not only is it a nice thing to do but it DRASTICALLY improves your hits. Even if you have a lot of hits all ready, you'd be shocked! I always link to my own blogs too. : )

It's in your best interests
It's in your best interests to know who's looking at your profile. As by default, as a MySpace user you're extremely self centred, yes I said it!
Any sane cyber stalker would use a fake account for snooping anyway!
Go and comit MySpace-icide, leave the computer and go meet some real people for a change. You might find you don't judge them with blinkered MySpace vision.
