Seeing this stuff is like walking around the seedy area of any major city. It might be interesting to look but you you probably don't want to go inside the stores or touch anything.

Really, much to do about nothing.

Here are the top 10 creepiest apps and services we've heard of in the past few months.

To one degree or another, everyone's been an internet stalker at some point. But some apps and services make it crazy, crazy easy to be exceptionally creepy. Our friends at Laptop Mag rounded up the shadiest-you know, for reference.
