Do you think this person knows that I'm looking at his and his friend's Facebook profile and photos?

First I have to admit that I fancy this guy, so I constantly check his facebook profile and some of his friends' profile and photos. Sorry if someone here hate this type of behavior, but I see nothing wrong, you like he/she, off course you will be curious and care about him/her. Now, this's my question, everytime I looked at his friends' photo albums, the next day, if I went on their profile again, the photos were all hidden (the previous day, the photo privacy was set to 'everyone' or 'friends' friend', I think), I didn't leave any comments, only browsing on my own, so I really don't know how can this happen, is this just coincident? Or is there any way to find out who check their facebook profile, who check his friends' profiles? How about if this guy knows someone working in Facebook ( though,it's very loe probability)?

Ugh...

Your browsing data is collected by Facebook. Every page, every photograph... LOGGED.

Of course he can see who views his profile the most. He doesn't have to "know someone working at Facebook" to do it.

You cannot see who views your profile or your photos etc. It's just a coincidence! Even if he/she did know someone at facebook, it's all confidential information so he/she couldn't say!

Absolutely NO WAY!

Almost from it's inception, the official Facebook developers have been adamant that user profile trackers will not be made available, so that users will never be able to see who has visited their profile or Facebook Photo album. This stance, which sets it apart from MySpace, whose users can use several different types of profile trackers, ensures that Facebook users can surf anonymously across the site, without worrying about divulging their surfing habits to the owners of the pages that they visit. By not allowing users to update their profiles with HTML or javascript code (the way that a profile tracker would normally be added), Facebook has essentially shut down all avenues for users to easily track who visits their profiles. This also eliminates the use of existing MySpace Profile trackers, as this is how they are normally implemented into a users profile on MySpace.

Current Facebook Trackers

At the present time, there is only ONE Facebook application which currently offers any sort of profile tracking ability: Trakzor. Trakzor is a a free facebook application that you can add to your profile, by selecting it from the "Browse more Applications" button when in your profile application edit mode.


BUT EVEN THAT has now been shut down because facebook found out and changed their API structure. The only tracker available is an application that you have to give permission to and that is the only was anyone can track you going to their page, you would have to physically grant permission to allow yourself to be tracked by others.

I did the same things too actually and keep wondering if this guy know I've been stalker him all this time. If you add him as your friend probably he knew about it because there is one application in facebook which allow people know who view your profile. Otherwise, if you just view his profile without add him, I think he don't know. It is normal to change the privacy setting in facebook.

[Simon Says]

No He/She can't know
Unlike Orkut a person will not know who has visited his/her profile

[Rom Cartridge]

I don't think so. Facebook doesn't allow people to track who views their profiles. Facebook applications, on the other hand, are unable to track anybody unless they have the consent of the viewer.
