Who's viewed me? Now on Yahoo!

I just received an email from Yahoo! stating that "Coming Soon" you will be able to see who views your profile. The kicker? You can turn this option on and off, meaning that you can put yourself in stealth setting and when you look at someone's profile, you won't show up in their "who viewed me" category. I like that yahoo has given the option to turn it on or off, unlike match.com which tracks your every move and viewing. Thoughts anyone?

Yet another reason to stick with CL exclusively. I *hate* that feature!!!

Can anybody tell me why you'd WANT that feature? I don't get it at all. Why would you want to know who has looked at you and chosen NOT to email you? That makes no sense to me.

Well the OP said you can get around that issue on Yahoo.

I just don't like having access to a "who's viewed me" list (and it's hard not to look if it's there) because it's just a reminder of all the guys who are looking at me and NOT contacting me. I don't want to know that, LOL! So I just don't see any positives with having the feature, just negatives, which is why I don't understand why sites would add it. Why do people want it?

I personally like those features.
It's quite easy to see who's "stalking" you online.

Why is that beneficial? Do you then report them, or block them, or what?
