Facebook 'Subscribe to' Feature Lets You Follow Your Friend's Every Move
Facebook is testing a new feature that lets you subscribe to a specific user's content. In practice, this means receiving a notification every time that user updates their status, posts a new photo, link, video or note, and Mashable aptly dubs it the 'Stalker Button.' Taken at face value, this would appear to be a direct answer to the ability to "follow" a user on Twitter, and may prove more useful for pages of celebrities and businesses than everyday users. We're sure that, outside of the ex you're stalking, you probably don't need to be notified of your friends' every move.Facebook confirmed to All Facebook that it was indeed testing the new 'Subscribe' feature with a very small pool of users, so expect to see it start popping up for you soon. We just want to give Zuck and crew a little advice: not all of us want to set off alarms every time we comment on someone's page. Give us the option to block users from following us (even if they're our friends) or turn the feature off entirely. Thanks.

If you are friends with somone everytime your friends do any of those things listed above it posts it on your page so what is the point of this. If a friend changes their status or post pics or videos it tells me on my wall, so what is the difference, and before someone says somthing stupid.....no they dont post it to my wall facebook automatically does it.

Where I'm from its not called stalking we like to refer to it as courting....

You can already do a basic follow with facebook if you are so inclined. It is by design...not a bug.
Send a friend invitation to someone, and then even if they don't accept, content will go into your feed. This allows you to see their new friends...which of course you are not. It does not expose much information, but almost nobody knows about this.

Has someone starting working on ButtFace yet? I want to set up a colon-cam so people can watch how my digestive system works. Then everytime I toot, a tweet will go out on twitter and an automatic picture will upload of a clip of my download on MyTube. I can trade in my IM for a BM, and if you're lucky a few Blackberry's might pass along with my Bluetooth!
Where does it all end..... Bing!

Personally I am tired of the slanderous lying label others try to put on someone for looking up an acquaintenance, friend or family member. There is too much control of lives by electrical chips. That's why I don't subscribe to facebook or tweeter, I prefer real honest emails or texts. The government already had too much power over our lives and stalking us, to see how much we make, credit, and how our money is spent. My personal life is no one's business, who I keep in touch with, where I work, live, eat or take a shit. Its time for people to be real and not so difficult. My friends know where to find me, contact me, write, call, email text but to those whose slander, put a retarded flag, (stalk button) or horass me at work about my preferences can kiss my behind. I DON'T NEED A STALKBUTTON, I am not stalking anyone. Friends, loved ones do keep in touch. FEDUP with overcyber bullshit.
