Can people track or see if you've looked at their facebook page? Just been looking up people from years back and I'd be a bit embarresed if I thought they'd knew I'd visited their page.
Anyone know?

    No, they can't see who's been looking at their profile.

    Really, there isn't.

    Click the link and it will likely give you some Spyware.

    Thanks for replies. So it look like people can't, unless there is maybe some special software?

    If it were possible to see, Facebook would implode. It thrives on stalkers.

    100%, categorically, no!

    Facebook logs everything you do, including all pages you visit. This information will be available to the site's developers, but not to users.

    Anybody who tells you they have just installed a new app that shows you who has visited your page is lying.

    Any application that offers to give you this information is lying, and will probably steal your personal information.
