Ability to See Who is Viewing Your Profile is Coming Soon
The profile trackers made popular on MySpace will soon be coming to Facebook now that Facebook has added Javascript to it’s platform. With a Facebook tracker, you will be able to view who visits your profile, when they visit, where they’re from, and more depending on what the developer of the Facebook tracker application decides to include.
Facebook Tracker Will Spread Quickly
While I am sure that there are more useful applications that will be enabled now that Javascript has been added, these trackers are hot, and whomever the first developer is that creates a solid Facebook tracker will see it spread like wild-fire.

Any updates on the tracker?
will the same restrictions/protections consistent with facebook’s terms so far be imposed: that is, no one can track you unless you agree i.e. like trakzor?
You jumped to conclusions too soon. Read the Wiki regarding FBJS
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/FBJS
In profile boxes, inline scripts are deferred until the first “active” event is triggered by a user. An active event is considered either onfocus, onclick, onmousedown, etc. Basically anything which requires a mouse click is an “active” event. On a canvas page, however, this example will work just fine.
So unless the profile viewer clicks on your profile box containing the FBJS code (with your proposed tracker app), your proposed tracker would do not change a bit.
dont do it! let there be some privacy
so, uh, when is this thing coming?? it was coming soon august of 2007. any more updates??
There are no facebook trackers and there never will be. Facebook has explicitly forbade and immediately removes applications which track user movements on other peoples profiles. It is against their privacy policy and the terms & conditions laid out on the site. Although it may well be fairly simple to develop such an app, any such widget would be (and always is) booted by Facebook’s admin immediately.
