What man hiatus? No man hiatuses. Getting you drunk this weekend so we can disabuse you of this silly notion. Anyway, more importantly, is this guy cute?

Yes, I was VERY upset when I found out that news on Friendster. Luckily, you can change your settings so you can go back to stalking people anonymously.

It was fun, though, to see who'd been checking me out recently.

Sorry you have to curtail your stalking tendencies because of the killjoys at Friendster. Life is tough.

did he view your profile in return?

the smirking is killer.

GAWD. i have not been on friendster in forver. I am assuming my profile is still on there. I should go check - but now I will have to refrain from stalking - which is what i loved about friendster to start with.

What a bunch of killjoys. That is so much a part of the fun of sites like friendster.

I'm considering this post a public service announcement because I had NO IDEA this had changed. Thank you for taking the bullet for me and the rest of us stalkers out there.

You can change your settings to "View Anonymously". I did it IMMEDIATELY. Because in my head, I am a spy, like Sydney Bristow.

Oh the Shame!! I hate that. But the smirk could've been just your imaginiation. Ya think?

(BTW - I LOVED Mia Farrow's memoires!....)

Perhaps it's just a little bit of retribution for us bloggers. After all, we do the same thing with IPs all of the time.

if ever confronted about it, just say "Oh, someone said that they thought you were on friendster too, so I looked you up to see."

totally easy to get out of. and then change your settings to 'view anon'.

Have you asked him out yet?

god -- sorry about posting the same comment three times -- it just looked on my end like my comment didn't go through.

Thank you Jen! I cancelled my friendster account; stalking was the only reason to use it (of course, if I'd read all these comments first, I would have realized I didn't need to cancel it). I hope my seven friends aren't too sad.

That has to be the dumbest business move since the introduction of New Coke. Who wants others thinking you are some freak looking at their photo all the time?

Whew! I will have to change my settings to anonymous. Thanks for the heads up! They still should have warned us.

Well, he is cute but I am serious about the man hiatus. At least til Jan 1. Only George Clooney could tempt me off the hiatus I think. Or his real life equivalent.

Urs-- Sorry you went and deleted your profile because of my post. I feel like an irresponsible blogger for not updating after people mentioned the anonymous setting thing.

Classmates has jumped on the Friendster bandwagon. They now provide a list of the folks who have viewed your profile.

Sooooo... as an older and wiser married woman with two kidlets let me tell ya....

If you think after all the stalking he is indeed the hotty you HAVE TO take the offense on this. Act as though his profile was less than interesting. If asked or if you get the opportunity mention the boring that you found when you clicked him out. Ask if maybe he was hiding something really cool and exciting for people he really knew, becasue if he was truly interesting you *might* then be interested in him.

They expect this. this is the game we all play. Get used to it and get good at it. You have nothing to lose and all kinds of fun to be had.

Sieze the fish!!
