I think that people were embarrassed to admit to looking up information about others online. I think that we have all done it before. We want to know as much as we can about people before we seriously get invovled with them. Why wouldn't we want to do this? It is much safer to know someone before we are alone with them. It gives us the upper hand. I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to know who we are associating with. I would certainly want to know if I was about to get involved with a psycho or not. Lookin up this information online is very beneficial to me.
Facebook has encouraged the online population to learn about the people around us. It has also encouraged us to learn about people that we don't know at all. As long as people havn't blocked their acount, you can look at whoever you want to on Facebook. I have been as guilty as the next person of Facebook stalking. It is so hard to now look at people's profiles because we are nosey by nature. Now Facebook allows you to look at multiple profiles on one page. Facebook is just promoting us to stalk people!
