Idea #20: Facebook Stalk

I hadn't even thought about this idea until tonight. It occurred to me that I have spent a large portion of my unemployment looking at photos on Facebook. I can never get enough! Not only do you get to see what people are up to without having to sit on the phone for 2 hours with them, but you can see the world! People are going to some fantastic places and by uploading photo albums on Facebook, I get to see new parts of the globe that I have never been to.

One of my all time favorite activities is to look at wedding photos on Facebook. I've mentioned before that I look at photos of people I don't know and that is often true. Professional engagement photos are also fun to look through. One of my ex-boyfriends just got married a few weeks ago. He and I no longer speak, and he's not on Facebook anymore, but I am friends with his now-wife and she just put up 100 plus photos of the professional photos from their big day. Since I knew all the groomsmen, and at one point was good friends with the groom, it was really fun to look through their photos. Also, even though I'm nowhere near getting married myself, looking through everyone else's photos is a great way to pick up ideas for your own wedding day.

So when needing to reconnect with people, but cannot fly to see them, talk to them on the phone, or write them a long email, stalk their facebook profiles.

I won't mention their names, but I'd like to give a specific shout out to two of my close friends who are excellent Facebook and internet "researchers". Their stalking skills are superb.
