I remember a guy once saying to me at a party, ‘I liked your bikini pictures from August 2007 when you went on holiday with your family to LA’ as if that was cool/funny. You could spend hours going through their pictures And it’s usually been airbrushed on that weird app my friends have started using that has totally tricked me into thinking I look better than I actually do. Now, you’ll be lucky if one picture goes up after a night out. You could see them at their grossest, you could see what they really looked like. You could see what they looked likeĮvery time anyone went out in the noughties, there’d be an album put up called something like ‘Messy night’ containing 119 pictures of varying degrees of quality. ![]() And again, nobody writes on anyone’s walls so even if there was a wall-to-wall, it’d be really boring. Now all we’ve got is ‘See friendship’ which only works if you’re friends with them. Remember ‘Stevie wrote on wall? And the ‘See wall-to-wall’ option? Hours of fun looking at past conversations, finding out how they go to that coffee shop loads or how they’re likely to be at that club on that night? You’d be able to look at what they wrote on people's walls and learn about their personality/grammar These days, my mum pokes me quite regularly which Freud would have a field day with. But seriously, it was the equivalent of matching on Tinder except you saw the person regularly in the canteen. ‘Hey, instead of poking, why don’t we just have sex?’ Oh lol. OMG poking used to be a thing, for like six months, before it became the barometer for bad student stand-up. And nobody writes on anyone’s timeline any more. The only way to find your stalking object via one of their friends timelines is if said stalking object has posted to their timeline. Or they happen to have old albums that aren’t private. Now, if you see someone they hung out with tagged in a picture, you can’t look through their photos unless you’re friends. You’d find a picture of someone they sometimes hung out with in one of your friend’s photosīoom, all you needed to do was trawl through their photos to find a picture of them and you’d not only have their name, but you’d have their profile. Yep, gone are the days that you could spend hours Facebook stalking someone – not just in terms of privacy, but because once everyone has learned about this rule, you’ll know you'll show up in the grid. So if your ex shows up, that one you’re friends with but haven’t interacted with or looked at for years, and they’re in that grid: they’ve been looking at your profile. ![]() That is sorted, not by random (as we once believed) but according to the following criteria: people who have liked things or written on your wall, people you have recently messaged and interacted with, people whose profile you’ve stalked, people who have gone on your profile. Basically, go on your profile and look at the nine friends Facebook has decided to show in that grid to the left of your timeline. Anyway, did you know that there’s actually a way to tell when someone’s looked at your profile? It’s not as simple as ‘SOPHIE HAS LOOKED AT YOUR PROFILE’ on LinkedIn but it’s still fairly telling. Perhaps it’s a sign that says, ‘I’m so alone’. There was a wonderful time when you could look at everyone’s photos, provided they went to your university, and people posted incredibly personal stuff on each other’s walls.īut now, a Facebook stalk is nigh impossible unless your ex-who-you-defriended’s cover photo is especially illuminating. Facebook stalking has been slowly on the decline for a while now.
