Facebook Chat is my new favorite stalk tool!
Facebook Chat.
One Word: Awesome.
Not because I can instantly chat with friends, but because I can see my friends activity on facebook LIVE. I can see when they sign on, when they go idle, and I can see their live mini-feed within the chat window. For Facebook, this is revolutionary.
So having the news feed and mini-feed was one thing. Having things like FriendFeed and all these different RSS feeds for updates is great… But having LIVE, REAL-TIME updates brings stalking to an even higher level. I don’t care what you did 5 minutes ago, or 2 hours ago… I want to know what you are doing RIGHT NOW.
So, where is my live twitter updates (more real-time than an RSS feed & more accessible than an SMS)? I want PUSH updates. Everything needs to be pushed to me. I shouldn’t have to PULL down all of my valuable stalking information.
