    LinkedIn does this. Which is why I almost never look at any profiles on there. Not to mention it just sucks. Necessary evil for working slobs.

    It’s normal to be curious about people you know. But seeing that someone “looked at a profile” could be misinterpreted in so many ways.

    And even if users can’t see that info, the data harvesters can.

    This was the case in the German copy called schuelerVZ back in the days. You could deactivate it than you didn’t see who was on yours and people still saw that someone was there

    I barely use FB, and therefore couldn’t care less. I still have an account only because it makes me easier to find for people who want me to announce their derby tournaments.

    That is it.
