Facebook Stalking, like regular stalking, allows the stalker to secretly gather information about the person they are interested in; the stalkee if you will. Unlike regular stalking, Facebook Stalking is less likely to have an illegal component and is generally accepted by it's voyeuristic victims. The argument being, that if you didn't want others to know about your life, you wouldn't post it all over the internet.
Person 1: Do you have a crush on Billy?
Person 2: I'm not sure yet, I need to go home and do some Facebook Stalking first.

When an individual (male or female) scours another individual's profile, frequently checks their status updates, or reads their wall posts to and from other people. This is usually done either because the individual wants to know as much as possible about the individual whose profile they are reading, or they're bored and haven't looked at that person's profile yet after they've gained them as a friend on facebook. Some people admit to it, other's deny they have been doing it, even when caught in the act.
Joe: "Dude what are you doing?"
Mike: *Looks up from ex-girlfriend's profile, whom he is facebook stalking* "Nothing."
Joe: *Sees ex-girlfriend's profile page* "Quit facebook stalking that chick and come play Xbox"
Mike: "I wasn't facebook stalking her!"

A euphemism for finding out about a person on their Facebook page so as not to need to ask for all the mundane details (hobbies, favorite quotes, marriage status) so conversations can go straight to arguing over the relative merits of Shadow of the Hegemon vs. Xenocide
I thought she looked pretty cute, but after Facebook Stalking her I found out she thinks Children of the Mind is the best Ender novel!

The act of monitoring another person's activity (status updates, photo uploads, photo tags, photo comments, wall posts, friend additions, group memberships, attended events, mutual friends, e.t.c.) on the popular social network of Facebook.
Person A: I was facebook stalking Jennifer for two hours last night.
Person B: Oh really?
Person A: Yeah, Amber added photos from her birthday party and Jennifer was tagged in one of them. However two weeks ago Jennifer RSVPed 'attending' on the guest list for Jack's birthday party which was the same night as Amber's. Then she updated her status to: "Jennifer is going on a date tonight" but according to her relationship status, she's not single!
