New Celebrity Stalking Tracking Website In The Works!
This could be very dangerous. We're not so sure we're happy about this.
A new website is launching next week that is probably going to put more than a few people in Hollywood on edge. It's called JustSpotted.com, a website dedicated to tracking the exact locations of celebrities at any given time. The website will be working in conjunction with the information obtained from Twitter, using a "natural-language" filter to figure out from public tweets where celebrities have been spotted.
The site is so based off of Twitter that one investor of Twitter, who also gave money to Facebook and Google, have put money into the project themselves
Speaking of Facebook, the website, along with Foursquare, will also be aiding the new site with it's venture to seek out celebs.
CEO of the site, AJ Asver, quickly tried to shut down reports that the website would promote more "stalking" for fans. He explains:
"We're not asking people to change their behavior. The information isn't real-time enough for you to run over there and see them."
We're glad to hear about the latter, but you're kidding yourself if you don't think people are going to get hooked to this! Soon, it'll be an iPhone app and you'll just seen teenage girls cruising around town, trying to pick up Justin Bieber's trail!
Scary thought!
We foresee a lot of trouble for them down the road, but then again, that is the genius of their website. They are using public information via Twitter. No crime in that!
What do U think? Will U be visiting this site when it launches next Tuesday?

This sound like gossip girl
Just spotted B in france…..
There's a price to pay for making a gazillion dollars and being
a celebrity. You belong to the public. Privacy no longer exists.
That's the trade off. Apparently money means more than privacy.
Money to pay for security systems, body guards, etc etc.
Deal with it. It's the way the world is. Excuse me if I don't feel sorry for
any of them.
Man! I actually had an idea of a website just like this one about a year ago. Ugh people are always stealing my million dollar ideas…lol…
Those little girls are going fuck him up. Badly. This is going to be so much fun.
Unfortunately I can't follow this site, because I
have a thing called life to take care, and that alone is enough to fill my day.
Horribly frightening. Movement patterns can evolve and a good security detail will tell you that is unsafe. Celebritites will have to be extra diligent to not establish a routine of any sort. With anti-stalking laws, I don't see how this website can exist.
This is a bad idea. Crazy bad.
is it just me, or does justin beiber look like cheryl tweedy in this picture?
You've been stalking Bieber for years, maybe they can ask you for advice.
Justin Bieber is what happens when they take music out of school; you get these manufactured head-aches.
Re: Prnzez – i agree with you. you're absolutely right
what is this, gossip girl for celebs? its creepy and wrong. I think even celebrities need some time from the paps and fans dontcha think
So, celebrity 'hunting' using advanced tech will ensure that these people will always be in season. Even wild deer get an off season, and when it's deer season they're not chipped and tracked using ruddy GPS. This is just wrong, and America has better things to do with its time, considering.
it is totally real-time enough for people to run and meet celebs, especially in NYC. OnLocationVacations already posts filming locations before they happen, and after it started posting Gossip Girl filming locations, tons of freaky people would come and hang out all day on the set of gossip girl near where I used to work.
Well going to the site to see where people are if you're bored is one thing. But going to the site so you can actually track/follow people is a bit messed up..Obviously, Anyone who goes to this site and actually uses it to follow celebs around not only has no life at all but they need to be shot on the spot regardless of age
How is that any different from what you do?
a real life gossip girl! how juicy!!
Hell yeah I will b visiting this site quite often. This is so cool! I'll b checking the site to c which celebs r coming to Chicago ( my hometime). And yes Im especially excited by the prospect of checking up on Justin Bieber. Love him
what are people's obsession with this dork?? and his haircut is so gay!!
this is truly frightening
Bad idea. its to the point the things happening to Paris would happen to everyone. Its not safe…
Re: cupcakecb19 – I see it
How very Orwellian. Legalized stalking. Talkaboutcherbigbrotheriswatching.
