It all started on few days, when I was doing some data acquisition in facebook ( a statistical way of saying wasting time clicking link and reading whines of others.) I came across a status update that sounds like this
Mr. XXX : Who would actually like a Salad page on Facebook? Me
Although really I want to say, it's actually perfectly normal. If you love salad, there's no reason for you not to like the page. I myself are not a fan of salad (although salad is an even instant food than instant noodle). If joining the group means you could get some salad advice,updates, or even exchanging ways to mix salad. By all means, it's a good and prolly wise thing to do.
For me myself, I have tons of like pages, and they serve some way or another to waste my time. For example, I for the nook group that I liked/joined , I will receive a wall update when Barnes and Nobles are going to give freebie for free~ And also for taylor swift, when there's a new album coming out , I will be immediately updated and went to iTUNES ( ehem, thepiratebay actually ) to download them. While some other like pages are a d**k, they won't let me reading their funny content unless I "like" their page, and so I did, and spent another 1 hour wasting time on the cybernet
But sometimes, there are just some facebook group (or I should say likes) , that makes me ponder the future of humanity when I saw another friend "liked the page". And thus, in attempt to enlighten humanity ( to bitch about them is the real thing), I decide to wander around facebook, and dug back some of the facebook pages that should be somewhere in the
| The ultimate location where your secret/failed assignment/ unfinished love letter/porn/humanity top secret ended |
6. The Like-Baiting Website
They appear in lots of form, ranging from
Reason to keep away
Those websites will prolly try to exploit the fact you are an attention whore/ someone naive enough to believe that there's free lunch. They appear from "check who is your top fan/who stalked you to Win a Ipad 2.3 , click Like now. Once you click the like, you gone through some serious permission page
Although you guys will probably smart enough to know there's no such thing as free Ipad. You could probably laughed to some idiot that fall into this Nigerian scam, and proceed to click the stalker track apps in facebook....
Congratulations, once again, to another world of spam.To ruin your bubble, although there's some "top fan page" that actually comes out with those "top fans", actually, all what they do, IS TO COUNT HOW MANY TIMES that certain person has commented. That's all.
Since stalker, well you know, they just stalk like how some dark shadow walked behind you when you're alone, which is something you never know until....(offtopic, girls and guy please be careful when walking alone, although this does not apply to me. I ate beer jerky. dude). Therefore, those apps is useless to detect these kind of people. Then you ask, "I did have some apps that worked! (and spammed some people wall in process). This is what their program actually do. In programming, it's going to be like this
howmanyviews = (rand (1,100000)) which basically generates a random number between 1 and 10000, OR
(if usergender==male); (female view > male view), (else if usergender==female); (male view> female view)
Because, as much as you want to know who's your secret admirer, FACEBOOK DOES NOT HAVE THIS FUNCTION built in (privacy, people ) , which is, there is no way to know that people stalked you ( facebook stalker, rejoice! ) Although I couldn't deny, it's innate in human nature for us wanting to know whether we are popular or not. Even I checked how many people read my website at times, but often times, it's a painful realization that if I didn't check my blog, the views on my blog is basically a zero =__+

Well, there's no harm in trying. Who knows out of 1000, one might work. I appreciate your bottomless gap of foolishness, but I should remind you, out of 1000 apps you tried, 1000 of them will write something on your facebook wall, announcing you as an attention whore. 700 of them will send spam to your other friends chatbox telling them how failed you are for having your account hijacked. 600 of them will make your account write some stupid thing on people's wall, and 100 of them will get your facebook account disabled because you keep sending spam links that you had no idea of.
How to identify
1. If more than 10 ppl like a page, and it's not Justin Beiber/Salad/Snow Day?Packers/Ipod , you should avoid it. Sometimes, the world stupidest thing are done as a group....
2. Keyword like "win a Ipad," , fans, stalker check apps, you should avoid (Disclaimer, if you want to like these kind of fan, by all means, go ahead)
