Following what is going on in someone's life by watching their status messages on Instant Messengers such as MSN, and their
updates to their
social networking profiles on websites like Facebook or MySpace. Akin to stalking in
the real world, but usually done to people who are your friends that would normally share this information with you, however you're just too busy to keep up conversation with them.
I see you've got a new cat, dumped your girlfriend, moved to a new apartment, had a fight with your sister, and your
goldfish died. Yes,
it's true, I've been creeping you, just been so busy with
finals that I haven't had a chance to call or write until now.
