Hi, I'm Rachel Hills.

I'm a London-based (via Sydney, Australia) writer, researcher and contributor to publications including the Sydney Morning Herald's Sunday Life, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Glamour, Jezebel, Alternet and more. I'm also writing a book about Gen Y, sex and identity. This is my blog.

I'd love to hear from you. Submit a question to my Ask Rachel column here, send me an email here, connect with me on Twitter here or find out more about my paid work at www.rachelhills.net.

Mysteries: Who's Stalking You On Facebook? →

lenachen:

This is ridiculous. Type a period (.) into the search box and find out who your top five Facebook stalkers are!

Facebook has released an official statement claiming these are just people they think you’d be “interested in” but I don’t buy it. My list — and my friends’ lists — are eerily accurate. Perhaps it’s a combination of who you search for AND who searches for you, but it definitely must take the latter into account.

My results included:

  1. The Guy
  2. Kennedy
  3. my girlfriend Alex
  4. my friend Spencer
  5. Jenna, my pal from Cornell

Curious. I can’t figure this one out. My numbers one and two are the people I search most often (who I suppose could do likewise to me), three and four are people are I search occasionally whom I could imagine searching me regularly (but don’t necessarily), and number five is a bit of a wildcard - a professional contact who lives in another country.

And the friend I search second-to-third most often - who I know looks at my page regularly - isn’t listed at all.

ETA: My workmates all just got their first five friends in alphabetical order.
