How to Tell If Someone Is Impersonating You on Facebook
New Facebook Feature Alerts Impersonation
Facebook is trying to prevent online harassment and general confusion with a new feature that alerts you if they think someone is impersonating you with your name and profile picture. If Facebook thinks that someone is trying to be you, you’ll be asked to identify whether or not it is an impersonator. The feature is live in about 75% of the world. Sounds like they are trying to prevent catfish, sorry Nev and Max at MTV. (Source Mashable)

Thanks for Recycling, Here’s an iPhone Wallpaper
