Does Photo Stalker Work?

There have been a lot of concerns on this site as to whether or not the Facebook Application, Photo Stalker, works. Some believe that photo stalker is a scam. Some claim it works very well, allowing you to view private facebook profiles / pictures, and others are simply skeptical.

I’m here to debunk some myths and explain to you the facets of facebook photo stalker.

First, what is it not? This is not how to hack a facebook account.

So, what is it? This app lets you view private pictures of people that you are not facebook friends with. You can only view the photos of people that have their albums set to public where everybody can view them.

On Facebook when you create an album, it is set by default to be a public album. This means that everyone on facebook can see your album if they have the album id. This is great, because if you tag somebody in a picture, that persons friends can actually view the photo. What this application does is simply exploits that default setting and allows you to view anybody’s album pictures.

Also note that this application does not violate facebooks terms and services, so you can use this app without fear of getting in trouble with facebook.

I personally find this app to be very useful. What do you guys think?
