Guy 1: Why have you been in your room for so long?
Guy 2: I'm trying to figure out how I know this Brittany chick.. she's so hot!
Guy 1: Well she's your Facebook friend, where did you meet her?
Guy 2: I don't know man, that's what I'm tryin' to figure out! I'm doin' Facebook forensics. I found her original request in my Gmail from February 2007, and our mutual friends go to State. We musta met at that crazy Valentines Day lingerie party.

Forensic facebooking is the practice of using facebook to find as much detailed information about a person from their profile as possible. Similar to profile mining.
Elise and I engaged in some forensic facebooking to find where her ex moved, what his new girlfriend was like, how many photos he took of her, and how many times they poked each other.
