For stalkers and aspiring stalkers alike, there is a powerful new tool on the Internet, Facebook (www.facebook.com). Without even trying, you can view every mundane detail of a person's activities and keep up not only with whom they are talking to, but what they are saying.
I sat on my couch with anticipation. I listened to the automated menu choices with the phone glued to my ear.

I gave out each bit of information that Sam prompted me for, and after a few minutes, Sam instructed me that my card had been activated.
