The ultimate Facebook Stalker (in a creepy, not good way) is awarded to 31-year-old Pradeep Manukonda who now has a restraining order from the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerburg, his sister Randi and his girlfriend. This is due to numerous creepy messages through Facebook, and even showing up at his house, not cool.

Not only can you find out what your friends are doing, now you can find out where they are! You heard me right. Facebook announced today their new Places feature that will allow you to “Checkin” to different places all around the world.
This is kind of exciting, but kind of scary too, what do you think? Are you more scared or more excited to use the new Places feature?
The feature should be released tomorrow starting with users in the USA and then rolling out to all users soon after. Information can currently be found on their developer documentation as well as in a video of their live announcement.
