The reactions to TweetStalk are quite entertaining. Get over it, people. How is using TweetStalk any different from following someone’s blog (it’s called “reading”) without them or anyone else knowing?

You could always just keep their page as a bookmark and look at it whenever you want to. You don’t need to follow someone to see their page, unless their settings are that way.

I wanted to use it to follow someone without them thinking I was stalking them. Ironic, innit?

Could this be a reason why number of followers Twitter counts often differs from the number that can be accounted for when checking the list visually?

I’m on the same road as you, I don’t really get the point in following people so they don’t know? It’s kind of creepy if you ask me

@ Jon Henshaw
Yes, what a happy pursuit that must be for you.
You could even incorporate those objectives into the company’s mission statement.
Noble.
Thanks for your intellectual contribution to building communities.
Well done.

@Renee, but there would be no fun with that I do admit…I enjoy watching people get worked up over nothing.

Henshaw: “For all of those who are creeped and freaked out over the service, you need to get past the name…The name was for fun…It’s either something you want to use or it isn’t, but stop blowing things way out of proportion.”

Marketer: You’re right. TweetStalk should not be taken seriously. If Raven SEO Tools had intended to brand TweetStalk as a tool you/they would have considered a name that suggests it actually is a tool (and not a joke). You might have given it a name that inspired credibility and not controversy.
Guess some people don’t think “stalk” is a fun word. Go figure?

If the name of the “stalk tool” wasn’t enough to turn a potential user off, then surely words like “whining” and “ridiculous” should do the trick. Guessing the clients of the Raven brand get a gentler response to customer concerns/feedback.
