I read a newspaper article, in the Hindustan times's HtCity section, this morning about how a facebook application, called -'Who is checking my profile?' , that tells you the people in your friend list who visit your profile and how some people have formed hate groups against this application.
What these people, obviously dumb( you'll know why in a second), have failed to realize is that what the application does is ensures that you visit that person's profile even if you haven't been doing so in the past.
How does it do that? Well suppose for example that you receive a notification that says: "(put the name of your friend here)" has tagged you in a 'photo', which is obviously done by the application, and you get another notification that says: "(your friend's name)" has just commented on a photo of you, again done by the application. No matter what you do, you'll surely check out that photo and want to know the comments that have been written underneath that photo, which is obviously placed in the profile that you 'claim' to not have visited in a long time.
So what has the application really done... it did what it says. The application is named "Who 'IS CHECKING' my profile?"....see it says 'is checking' and not 'has checked'. So get over it. It's obviously fun, 'cuz people visit, that profile, even when they don't want to, just because they can't get over their own curiosity of what kind of a photo they were tagged in and what comments have been received. So all this application really does is exploit your own need to know what people think about you. Don't go blaming the application just because you got fooled.
Peace.
