T

To my knowledge, I agree with Zen, there are not any.

They just track the general location and with someone with a fake location, SOL.

nobody would go on myspace anymore if there was a real way to track them. if you have a crush on someone, you dont want them to know you look at their page daily..lol

You can track IP addresses and locations of people that visit your page. Sometimes it's helpful and sometimes it's not.

Don't do it, T. Registering with them just gives them access to YOUR I.P. address to put in their "database" which is what they use to "track" who looks at profiles. If they don't have your I.P., other people can't track you. And they can only track the REGISTERED people they have in their database who look at your profile.

They get the location from Google Maps type registrations. Ba$#@rds

Most of the people I tracked successfully aren't signed up with the service.

Well...
I only got a tracker when I was having problems with a stalker. Turns out she was visiting my page 16 + times a day when she wasn't at work teaching schoolchildren.

She was visiting my page from 6pm to 4am several times an hour. It was bizarre.

That is VERY weird. Hmm....

Well, anybody that visits my page that often is going to be severely disappointed. There's just not that much going on... lol

Now I'm going to be paranoid whenever I go to someone's page to listen to their Playlist Player thing. They will think I am stalking them...

I registered for a tracker and my myspace account got hacked. It was something about a phising scam. So be careful.

I don't think my friends are stalking me if they visit my page. I want them to visit my page. I don't pay attention to most IP's anyway. I look for specific ones or specific parts of the country.

I do want to know if 'freaky girl' is visiting because she also found my exhusband on MySpace and made friends with him and claimed she was going to fly out here and spend time with my son at my ex's house, etc. etc. She also told him lies about me that caused him to come over to my house pounding on my door and screaming at me.

It's quiet now and that's great but if she started up again I'd want to know ahead of time and not when she's walking across the street with my kid at my ex's house.

See wot I mean?

That's partly why I stopped posting most places on the internet.

Yeah, I don't mind if my friends 'stalk' me. That's fine. But when a random unknown guy starts a brand new page and messages me talking about marriage and kids and wanting to get to know me, it freaks me out a little. Kinda suspect. I don't even have pictures up of myself...so he doenst know what I look like....or does he...? scary.
I didnt sign up for the profilesnitch thing either...it kind of bugs me out too now. lol!
