Facebook "Following Me" Hoax

A message is spreading across Facebook that claims users can see who is covertly following them by going to the blocking section of their settings and typing in "following me".

NO, typing "following me" in the Blocked users textbox does NOT provide a list of users who are following you.

What it DOES do is bring up a list of users associated with the words you typed into the textbox - in this case the words "following" and "me". This can mean those words appear in a user’s name, introduction or any of their About Me sections. Given the rather generic nature of the words "following" and "me", users who follow the instructions are more than likely going to see a rather random (and completely benign) list of Facebook users appear.

Try typing in the word "space aliens" to see a different sample of names.
