Suspicious Behavior from Profilepeep

A while back, I was contacted by a Profilepeep user who asked me to help spread the word about suspicious behavior from the owner of Profilepeep. They claimed that after registering for Profilepeep and inserting the code into their profile, they received frequent visits to their profile from the owner of the site and were subscribed to profiles with no info. The user also suspected that the owner had gained access to their account through the cookies placed on their computer from the tracker.

When the user posted their concerns about the tracker program on the site's forum, the comments were promptly deleted and no explanation was offered. This same user now suspects that the owner of Profilepeep may be involved in another MySpace tracker site called whospy.net.

Read "When Spyware Performs as Advertised", a blog post on the Washington Post for more information on how these programs work and what they do to your computer once you install them.

Is it really worth it to have your browser freeze up and have everything you do online be tracked by God knows who JUST to be able to maybe see who is checking you on MySpace?

New Look!

MySpace or Yours has a whole new look! What do you think?

I haven't updated this blog very much lately, but I've been working on a MySpace tracker project that I hope to release very soon. That is, if people are still interested in MySpace tracker information. ;-)

I will tell you this though, if you're using profilepeep or whospy.net - don't bother. Both are thought to be run by the same guy, running the same scam (more on that later).

If you want to be among the first to hear the news when it's announced, you need to be sure that you've added the MySpace or Yours profile to your MySpace friends. So do it now!

To those of you who have emailed me with MySpace tracker questions and issues, I'm sorry for the delay, but I really appreciate your patience.

Automatically Track Your Friends' Top 8

The power of MySpace's Top 8. Yes, it does matter if you're in it or not... well, to some people anyway.

Now you can automatically track anybody's Top 8 using FeedYes.com. Simply sign up for the service and track any changes through your favorite RSS reader.

It's bound to save you tons of MySpace stalking time... if that's what you want. ;-)

Find out when your friends become single

Singlestat.us lets you check the relationship status of anyone on MySpace. I know, I know ... you can do that on your own. The point of his service is -- he'll send you an email notification when their relationship status changes. And if you mention singlestat.us in your profile, the service is free.

Definitely worth a look for any MySpace stalkers out there.

Guy loses job for posing as his boss on MySpace

The details are a bit sketchy on this story but here's the gist of it. Bill Poon worked at a local burger joint for about a year -- last September he used a pic of the president of the company he works for as his MySpace pic and left comments on some of this co-worker's MySpace pages. In April, he gets called into a meeting with HR and his supervisor and is bacially fired because they consider what he did "identity theft".

Identity Theft? Really? Come on. I have no idea what burger joint this is, but do they really not have anything better to do than to be checking up on some burger-flipping, 20-year old's MySpace page? It wasn't like anybody was going to believe he was really the prez of this company. It was a joke!

Anyone else feel the same?

Can You Buy Friends on MySpace?

We've all heard of friend-collecting... people who whore themselves out and run train after train in an effort to up their friends list on MySpace. But this guy is taking it one step further. He wants to pay you to be his friend. According to Aaron Nimocks MySpace profile:

Every week starting July 1st 2006 I will randomly pick one person in my friends list and mail them a check for $50! Stay tuned for more details. To qualify for this I must not know you. Plain and simple.

Utterly Boring reports that Aaron's goal is to reach a million friends. Good Luck!

The MySpace ADDiction - MySpace Add Me Groups

What's a great way to add lots of new MySpace friends? Try posting your "Add Me Button" or "Whore Me Code" on one (or more) of the many MySpace groups dedicated to adding more friends. Whether you're a MySpace band or business trying to promote your site or just a regular person trying to rack up thousands of friends.... posting on Add Me Groups is fast and effective.

One thing to remember about posting on these groups -- pay close attention to the rules of each group. Some only allow you to post in specific forum threads, while others only want you to post bulletins. Follow the rules or you risk being kicked out of the group.

Free MySpace Trackers -- sort of...

No, it's not a magic MySpace tracker like some sites claim to have. But here are a few links to real sites that will help you get some information about who's viewing your MySpace profile.


I've included links and a short summary of what each stat counter/tracker does. If you have any questions, please direct them to the owners of the respective sites. Thanks!


createblog.com

  • Supports Myspace, Xanga, Livejournal, and more
  • Up to three trackers per account
  • Daily and monthly totals (unique + pageviews)
  • Individual hit details (username, destination, referrer, location, ip, time of visit)
  • Top visitors, destinations, and referrals
  • Different timezone support
  • Public or private stats (viewable to everyone vs yourself)
  • geostats! (updated 5/5)
  • Very very easy to use!
  • FOR MYSPACE, ONLY SUPPORTS UNIQUE HITS AND PAGE VIEWS

geo visitors
This tool will automatically detect where in the world visitors are coming from when they visit your site. It's pretty much a map with little colored dots displaying where your last visitors came from.

web tracker
Straightforward guide to configuring Statcounter (invisible web tracker) for social networking sites; like Myspace.

Save time:
In case you're wondering what kind of information you would be seeing from people that visit your profile do this: Go to the Statcounter site. Click on "DEMO" at the top of the page. Then use the side menu to navigate through all the features. What you see there is pretty much what you'll see.

trackers.arecool.net
A free version of this tracker is now available to those who don't wish to spend money or simply cannot. This free version comes up with an advertisment for this site in order to compensate. This tracker works by subscribing people who view your profile to your blog. When someone is subscribed to your blog, you can find a link and pic of them by clicking on your "My Readers" link inside of "Manage Blog". This tracker is a little more advanced than older ones. It not only will subscribe a person the first time they view your page, it will subscribe them every time they view it.

To all Bloglet Subscribers...

Those of you who had previously signed up to receive email notifcations everytime new content was posted to this blog, may have noticed that nothing has been sent out lately. There seems to be an issue with the email notification service that I was using. So I think it's time for a switch.

I have now signed up with Yutter.com and after an initial test phase, it seems to be working just fine.

So what does this mean for you? Well, if you want to receive all the latest MySpace info in your inbox, simply sign up using the form located in the sidebar of this blog.

If you are already a subscriber, I'll be importing all the email addresses (several hundred) into this new program. You should receive an email asking you to verify -- it'll come from myspaceoryours@gmail.com. So there's no need for you to sign up again.

Any questions, you know where to reach me. Thanks!!

Could It Really Be True?? A Working MySpace Tracker?? Find out Here!!

Does a working MySpace Tracker really exist? Some of you are saying...yes.

Apparently, whosonmyspage.com is working.
I'm assuming this is different from whosonmyspace.com - the one that made you sign up for TagWorld before you could get the code.

Anyway, I've received various comments from people saying that they have been using it successfully. I started to sign-up for it (not that I'm really interested in who's viewing my profile, because at this point it doesn't really make a difference) and it looks like it might be legit. It didn't ask me to give my MySpace password, or require me to set up an account with a competing site. I didn't install the code on my profile though, so I can't say for sure that it works.

This profile tracker is set up so that the only way you'll know who is viewing your profile is if that person is also registered with the site. If they're not, they'll simply show up as Anonymous. So of course, they want you to tell all your friends about it and encourage them to sign up as well.

If this profile tracker really is working... I really think it's only a matter of time before MySpace blocks it as well.

One other thing... people are starting to complain in a major way about all the bulletin spam that is going around saying, "Sign up for this MySpace Tracker!", etc... and yet when people try to post warnings about signing up for bogus trackers -- those bulletins are sometimes blocked.

This happened to me... and to at least one other person (a super-cool guy) who tried to warn his friends about the dangers of falling for those types of claims. When questioned, MySpace would only respond that allowing such bulletins would be a "security risk". Yet don't we all receive at least half a dozen bulletins touting the latest "MySpace Tracker" on a daily basis?

If you want to post a bulletin referencing a post on this blog or just this blog in general, try posting just a link. These types of bulletins seem to go through just fine. And to all of you who have posted bulletins with a link to my blog or another article regarding MySpace Tracker scams - Thank You!!!

If you're using whosonmypage.com or another profile tracker, I'd really love to hear about your experience with it. Please feel free to leave me a comment if you have any more information regarding MySpace Trackers or email me at myspaceoryours DOT gmail DOT com.

Cool Businesses on MySpace

Many entrepreneurs these days are setting up MySpace profiles for the added promotion. If you have an online business, blog or website -- you need to be on MySpace.

Here are a couple of people/business doing it the right way:

Retro MySpace Layouts

If you're into retro layouts or just feeling a little nostalgic -- here are some cool MySpace layouts for you :P


More Hot MySpace Layouts!!

I stumbled across a cool site with some really HOT MySpace Layouts. Here's a few of my favorites:


MYSPACE TRACKER UPDATE

OK, so I wrote a post a couple days about MySpace Tracker scams. Since then I've gotten some emails and comments about other MySpace Trackers out there. So here's the latest:


There are no working MySpace Trackers out there right now


Profilesnoop, Whosonmyspace, MySpaceplus, etc. -- all not working.


There are ALOT of MySpace Tracker Scams


There are a lot of people trying to make money from the huge demand of MySpace Trackers. I've seen postings on eBay and Stormpay -- DON'T BUY THESE! MySpace Trackers are blocked so quickly these days, you're only throwing your money away.


trackers.arecool.net is offering a MySpace tracker for $5.00 via Paypal. But here's the thing - they offer NO guarantee that the tracker will work and not be blocked by MySpace so you're basically only paying for access to their forums.


I feel like I'm starting to sound like a broken record... but I really think that the best advice is to just sit it out and wait. MySpace is going to install it's own profile tracker (maybe) or someone will figure out how to program a tracker that works for more than a couple days in a row. But you're only wasting time and money by buying into the scams.

Read the latest MySpace Confessions!!

Have you read MySpace Confessions? I've added two new entries by some great writers with very interesting stories... see for yourself!


On the subject of MySpace - by Corey Taft


At school, why do I occasionally downsize my MySpace computer screen when I feel somebody might be watching?


A typical stroll down any computer lab at my school of choice- CSU-Los Angeles, still reppin Golden Eagles, bitches,- and I notice that every student has MySpace. Every student! Not just the computer nerds or other selected stereotypes. Everyone!


And yet, here I am, making my MySpace page smaller and smaller in hopes that people don’t judge me.


"Look at him. He’s a loser." Read the rest here...

Cheating On MySpace....Not Such a Great Idea...by ModelMom


I just went in to get my hair cut today by one of my best friends who happens to work with another friend's ex.......and the reason he is the "ex" is because of me. I got the silent treatment from this guy the entire hour and a half that I was in the salon.....and I didn't know if I should laugh or feel very uncomfortable. After I left the salon I couldn't help replaying the scenario that went down just a few months ago with this guy and how I came to "ruin his life".


A few months ago I busted my friend's boyfriend cheating on her. How, you ask? Well, I have a profile on MySpace, like pretty much everybody else on the planet and their dog does. During one particularly uneventful evening I was going through my list of friends and clicked on her boyfriend's picture to see what he was up to and that is when the proverbial excrement hit the fan. Read the rest here...

Beware of MySpace Tracker Scams!!

There has been such a rush lately for MySpace tracker information that it was really only a matter of time before spam and scams started showing up.


A couple days ago I received a bulletin from someone on my friend's list. The bulletin said something like this...


"Want a MySpace tracker? Re-post this bulletin and type in MySpace Tracker, MySpace Tracker and information will be sent to you."


Ok, now that one was harmless enough. Of course, no one is going to send you any information just because you posted a bulletin... all you're really doing is creating bulletin spam and looking stupid. ;-)


But then there was another bulletin that actually included a link to a website that claimed to have a working MySpace tracker. So I checked it out... I was directed to a website that consisted of a single page. No contact info, no email adress... just a simple, no-frills page with a form on it. The form asked for your email (the one you use to log onto MySpace) and your MySpace password.


I wanted to see what would happen so I used the info from an old MySpace account that I had created awhile ago. I filled in the information... even my password and clicked Submit. This message appeared "Site down for maintenace. Check back shortly."


Now do you really think the site was down for maintenace? Probably not... Most likely, whoever created the website was just trying to acquire as many email addresses and MySpace passwords as possible. Or maybe even a specific MySpace password for someone on his friend's list. For what? Who knows... (And no I'm not going to post the link here.)


The point is, you really need to be careful. Don't believe every claim about MySpace trackers that you hear, no matter how "desperate" you are to know who is viewing your Myspace profile. You should never enter your personal email, MySpace or password information into something that you're not sure about.


If you absolutely have to sign-up for it... create a dummy MySpace account and use that info instead. A little caution and common sense goes a long way.


As far as actual MySpace tracker news... I came across a couple tracker sites that I hadn't seen before, but haven't had much time to actually go in and see how they work, although it's doubtful that they do actually work. I'll be posting more MySpace tracker news soon though... so stay tuned.
