Does the Facebook "see who viewed your profile" really work?

[Bella S]

I opened my Facebook today and noticed that I was tagged in 4 posts from an ex of mine and it indicated that I and 4 other people are the top viewers of his Facebook profile. And beside each of our names there was the number of how many times we viewed the page. This post got sent to another common friend and it has been posted on their wall. The post reads "See who views your profile @ facebook.com/pages/Profile-stalkers..."

This bothers me because if this really works, than we no longer have the right of keeping anything private. I don't care who looks at my profile or how many times...But I certainly don't need everyone to know how many times I look at someones page.

Is this just spam making up some random count? or is it real?
